KONY 2012 is a film and campaign by Invisible Children that aims to make Joseph Kony famous, not to celebrate him, but to raise support for his arrest and set a precedent for international justice.
War criminal Joseph Kony is not exactly a household name in the United States, according to the Huffington Post. Of course, few rebel leaders in Africa are — even ones like Kony, whom the International Criminal Court has branded a war criminal.
One American filmmaker is determined to raise Kony’s profile, for the express purpose of bringing him to justice. Kony’s many horrific crimes include abducting children and making them into child soldiers.
Kony has been elusive for years. President Obama recently sent U.S troops to Uganda to help African soldiers capture Kony.
