Video: Invisible Children release sequel video to Kony 2012

The original Kony 2012 video has been watched by almost 90 million people on YouTube – now the charity has released a second video responding to criticisms.

THE ORIGINAL VIRAL video has been watched by almost 90 million people on YouTube and attracted huge amounts of criticism for over-simplifying the conflict in Uganda.

Now, Invisible Children, the group who created the Kony 2012 video, have released a sequel dealing with the reaction to the original half-hour video.

The 20 minute video called Kony 2012: Part II – Beyond Famous looks at the work being done on the ground in Uganda by local groups as well as how Invisible Children are trying to use the viral hit to translate into action.

    Think I’ll get there before you two! My father spend last five years of his life in one, it was quite nice if your reasonably able bodied, you have company which is better than living alone, but if incapacitated not nice…there’s no place like home.
