A documentary film aimed at making Ugandan war criminal Joseph Kony famous for his heinous acts, including the recruitment of child soldiers, has exploded online, drawing praise and contempt from millions of viewers. The half-hour film, made by the U.S. charity Invisible Children, was posted on YouTube and the charity’s website less than 48 hours ago and by Wednesday morning had been viewed more than 4 million times; now over 70 million views.
The hashtag #StopKony was trending in the number one spot on Twitter in Canada and the U.S., as scores of users, including Justin Bieber, posted links to the film and encouraged others to get involved.
The film opens with a scene of filmmaker Jason Russell’s son’s birth, and then briefly documents the experience of a child soldier in Uganda named Jacob.
