Invisible Children Release “Kony 2012: Part 2 – Beyond Famous”

Joseph Kony 2012

Invisible Children have released a sequel to their popular Kony 2012 viral video.

Entitled Kony 2012: Part 2 – Beyond Famous, the latest video from Invisible Children focuses on the aftermath of the video’s success, both good and bad. The official description reads as follows:

KONY 2012: Part II — Beyond Famous offers a closer look at the LRA and explores the solutions put forward by leaders of the currently-affected areas of CAR, DRC, and South Sudan, where local communities continue to live under the constant threat of LRA violence. This generation has responded to the call to make Joseph Kony famous. Now we need to dig deeper and turn awareness into informed action. That starts with sharing this film and continues with participating in Cover the Night, the advocacy and awareness event taking place worldwide on April 20th.

You can view the video after the jump. Do you think Invisible Children can recover from their public downfalls and make a real difference?

    I’ve just released a 7,000 word report on Invisible Children’s extensive social and institutional ties to the Washington D.C. based, global evangelical network called “The Family” (also known as The Fellowship) — which has been credited (by the bill’s co-author MP David Bahati) with inspiring and providing “technical support” for the potentially genocidal Anti Homosexuality Bill (also dubbed the “kill the gays bill”) that has loomed before Uganda’s parliament since late 2009.

    In addition, Truth Wins Out has just released audio in which Jason Russell states that IC is a “Trojan Horse” for evangelizing in schools:
