 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. Invisible children is a movement seeking to end the conflict in Uganda and stop the abduction of children for use as child soldiers.
