    Storyline

    • Trivia
      A follow-up, Kony 2012, Part II: Beyond Famous (2012), was posted a month later, aimed to address criticisms of the original film as well as present more information about Kony's LRA and the work that Invisible Children had done for the campaign. Director Jason Russell was not involved with the follow-up because he suffered what was called a "temporary psychotic breakdown" and had to be hospitalized due to the negative backlash this film received.
