Joseph Kony was born in 1961 he is the head of Uganda's LRA or Lord's Resistance army. This guerilla group was formed in 1987. It is found in the Democratic Republic of Congo, South Sudan, Central African Republic and Uganda. They have participated in sexual enslavement of women, abduction of children for use as soldiers, mass murders and other atrocities.
Kony himself was convicted by the International Criminal Court of the Hague, Netherlands, but never captured. This now popular film is being used to raise awareness of the "Invisible Children" or child soldiers and to bring Kony to justice.
