A guy called Kony has been abducting kids in Africa, forcing them to be soldiers and kill their own parents and other people. The female children are forced to be sex slaves.
If the children try to escape they are killed.
One guy has tried to make a difference. Now there are millions beside him to try and capture Kony.
Kony is #1 on the wanted list!
US soldiers were sent to Africa to help find him, but Kony found out about the US helping and has changed his tactics to make himself harder to find.
Kony is not famous or well known. Kony 2012 is a campaign to make Kony famous. Not to become a celebrity, but for everyone to be aware of his crimes.
Late at night on April 20th hundreds of thousands of people are going to post Kony 2012 sitckers, signs, posters and more all over the world. So on the 21st April everyone will see his face and know of his crimes.
The more people to support Kony 2012, the faster the US will train the African soldiers to use technology in order to track down Kony.
I do recommend watching it, you see what is really happening and you see the guy that started this search for Kony.
