Propaganda is important, whether you?re the brutal leader of a violent army or the people trying to stop him.
The organization Invisible Children has a new video about Ugandan Lord?s Resistance Army leader Joseph Kony, and the 30-minute take down piece has gone viral online.
Kony, who has been indicted by the International Criminal Court for war crimes and crimes against humanity, has been on a violent campaign against the Ugandan government since 1986. Since then, the warlord and his army have reportedly displaced more than 2 million people and abducted 66,000 children.
Filmmaker Jason Russell?s video, titled ?Kony 2012,? scored nearly 3 million views just this week, with some social media help from the likes of Roger Ebert and a groundswell of young people sharing the 30-minute piece online.
Will it make a difference? Invisible Children hopes the video will keep the pressure on.
