A short documentary that arguably changed the media landscape forever, KONY 2012 became a viral international sensation due in part to its evangelical tone, inspiring everyday people to gain a quasi-religious awareness of the “original sin” of Ugandan warlord Joseph Kony who could be defeated through the power of collective consciousness. It's no surprise that the mastermind behind the KONY 2012 documentary, Jason Russell (founder of Invisible Children) is a devout Christian who grew up in a family dedicated to Christian ministry through youth theater, although Russell intentionally chose not to broadcast his religious views in order to make the KONY 2012 movement palatable to as broad of an audience as possible. Still, the documentary, which at the time of its release was a media phenomenon and the most “liked” video ever on YouTube, shows strong evidence of Christian influence. The video argues that the belief of a group of people creates a tangible psychic force with the ability to affect world events, and it promotes the hypothetical arrest of Joseph Kony as a cathartic cleansing event that will lead to global harmony. KONY 2012 even contains a Millerite rapture-esque ritual in its “Cover the Night” happening, meant to take place on April 20, 2012, when the anti-Kony faithful would blanket their entire city in Kony propaganda overnight so that sleepers folk would awaken the next day to a completely new world of full Awareness. Unfortunately, the evil Joseph Kony was not arrested and is still at large to this day, but Jason Russell's movement left a noticeable impact on society at the very least by creating an internet video with full cultural penetration, something that is basically impossible to do nowadays in the ever-expanding universe of social media. The larger-than-life success of KONY 2012 also impacted Jason Russell's life when he suffered a public mental breakdown weeks after the video's release and was arrested for stripping naked and ranting on a public street, an event that was captured on video by phone cameras and disseminated through the same internet channels that Russell had used to spread his gospel in the first place. Many humans throughout history who encountered the divine dealt with issues that we now recognize with contemporary scientific framing as possibly being “manic episodes”; Joan of Arc is just one example. It's possible that Jason Russell's public struggles are simply another piece of evidence that KONY 2012 is the work of a modern-day prophet.

In 2012 the Kony 2012 video and hashtag, meant to pressure the United States to intervene in the search for war criminal Joseph Kony, went absolutely viral. Out of seemingly nowhere, everyone seemed to be buying souvenirs to stop a war criminal they had likely never heard of before the video emerged. But, while some patted themselves on the back for their newfound activist spirit, others criticized the movement and the creators of the viral moment in history. Soon, concepts like aid to Africa, the white savior complex, and more were under fire. Were these types of campaigns helping, or just doing more harm?

It was the 30 minute 'documentary' that had an absolute grip on the world. Kony 2012 was the first Youtube video to reach 100 million views in less than a week. Everybody on the planet seemed swept up in the attempt to 'Make Kony Famous'. We shared the video along with the #Kony2012 hashtag. We donated. We agreed to 'COVER THE NIGHT'. Even Oprah was excited. Then, less than two weeks later, it all came crashing down (and the term 'slacktivism' was born). So what was Kony 2012 all about? What was with Invisible Children, Inc., the charity behind it? Why did Kony 2012 director Jason Russell end up naked and ranting on a public street? And, most importantly, what ended up happening to Joseph Kony?

This week we are rejoined by Legalman of The Quash podcast to discuss one of the first viral psyops in internet history: KONY 2012. The eponymous video released by Invisible Children, sought to bring international attention to the misdeeds of Joseph Kony,the leader of the radical Ugandan rebel group Lord's Resistance Army, operating out of the Central African Republic and South Sudan. Little did we know when embarking on this seemingly quaint topic just how deep the fake rabbit hole goes.

Around a decade ago, one of the first “viral” moments of the social media age took place. This involved American men launching a campaign to make Joseph Kony the most famous man in the world. Kony, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) (which had existed for decades prior), had been indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity. But was this a case of activism, slacktivism, or white saviourism on a global scale? Follow us on IG: itsacontinentpod and Twitter: itsacontinent.

What have we learned in the past 10 years?
In March 2012, a 30-minute film produced by U.S.-based not-for-profit Invisible Children and narrated by co-founder Jason Russell, aimed to shed light on Joseph Kony, the leader of the Ugandan rebel group, the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). He was the target of the Kony 2012 campaign led by Invisible Children, which garnered international attention. Before Invisible Children existed, in 2003, Russell, along with Bobby Bailey and Laren Poole, set out to create a film on the conflict in the Darfur region of Sudan and travelled to northern Uganda to speak with those who had fled Sudan. Their plans changed when they witnessed the war in Uganda with the Lord's Resistance Army. Russell, Baily and Poole produced their first film, Invisible Children Rough Cut, and out of that film, the not-for-profit Invisible Children was born. On this episode of What happened to…? Russell speaks about how the idea of Kony 2012 started, how it became a viral sensation after its release and the swift criticism that followed.

On this episode of the Global News podcast What happened to…? Erica Vella finds out what happened to viral video, Kony 2012, which aimed to shed light on the Ugandan militant who founded the Lord's Resistance Army. Dominic Akena grew up in a small village in Patongo, Uganda; his childhood was spent outside playing with other children in his village. In 2001, when Akena was seven years old, he remembers hearing a lot of commotion early one morning. The LRA had attacked a village close to Akena's home and from that day, he said his life would change; each night his family would sleep in the woods to avoid the rebel group. That went on for three years. In 2004, Akena decided to sleep in the classroom with his older brother instead of going into the woods with the rest of his family. Just as he was about to sleep one night, he heard a lot of noise from outside of the classroom. That night, Akena and his older brother were abducted by the LRA. On this episode of What happened to…? Erica Vella speaks with Akena about his capture and also learns more about the LRA and how a film produced in 2012 aimed to shed light on the atrocities committed by Kony and LRA.

For some reason Jordan decided it was a good idea to reflect on last year during February and he brings back TOMS, Kony 2012 and something else. So here it goes...
I sit down with a coworker from Whole Foods to have a long chat about anything we can think of. Child Porn, GMOs, KONY 2012 & Louis CK are just a few of the various topics we hit. This long episode is riddled with dog barking and whatever else happens to be going on in my kitchen on this lovely Wednesday morning, but that's the magic of the kitchen baby!... no? it's actually just really annoying? oh.. Well deal with it because this episode is great!

This week, Lewis and Jack talk about viral videos without Mat who is sick. The guys talk about a lot about breakfast and Jack's hatred of it. They decide that Jack is going to start a dairy free restaurant called Not Milk. They also want to start a Denny's Podcast and talk about Hobbit Holes. They are going to promote the restaurant and podcast with viral videos.They both don't really like viral videos because they just appeal to people's emotions. Jack thinks that videos used to be better and now hates all viral videos because he's a bitter old man and all the videos today are hack garbage.They both agree that the Dollar Shave Club video is the best one and explain why. Jack hasn't seen the Kony2012 video and Lewis explains it to him. Then they talk about the problem with viral videos and foreshadow their upcoming big expose on Ted Talks.
