KONY 2012

Kony 2012 by Jason Russell was an inspiring movement that warmed many peoples hearts including mine.It was made by Jason Russell to bring awareness to the world about Joseph Kony and his LRA group kidnapping kids and abusing them.Because this had been happening for 26 years people ignored this and the world did not know about what was going on in Africa.The documentary by Jason Russell reached over 100 millions views on youtube and this created a lot of awareness and created a lot of social action by raising funds.It was socially inspiring because he made those children who were deemed to be "invisible" become visible and with that he raised a large amount of money.He also managed to reach out to high elected people in the United States along with other world known celebrities.

I also think it was inspiring how an ordinary man made his voice heard to many people and managed to generate money and eventually managed to get a letter from the United States president Barack Obama saying that United States advisors were deployed in Uganda to help track down Kony,meaning that his goal to begin tracking down Kony was brought into action.

Personally I believe that it was inspirational and that it helped many people recognise issues within the world and I believe that Jason Russell did a good job of raising awareness about Joseph Kony and the LRA in Uganda.
