What is KONY 2012 - A Profound Video




KONY 2012 is about Joseph Kony and one of the most profound videos you will watch today. It's bloggers and viewers like you who can make a real difference. Joseph Kony considers himself as a good Christian. He abducts kids, little girls go in prostitution, little boys become kid soldiers and are forced to do horrible things, things kids aren't supposed to do. He started the LRA, Lord’s Resistance Army. 20,000 kids have been kidnapped, this needs to stop and that’s why we need to make Kony Famous. Let the world know about the horrible things Kony does, and the thousands of children and parents suffering.

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.
