My Thoughts on KONY
When I first watched the video, I was very moved and was very determined that I had to do something. I instantly shared it on facebook and twitter. I wanted to buy the emergency kit and if I think about it now, It’s amazing how a 30 minutes video can really change you. I think the reason we were so moved is because of how advanced the video was. The editing of the video was outstanding and interesting. It talked about Joseph Kony in detail and really made us hate him. I also thought it was very successful how Jason Russel showed her son which gave a compassionate effect. However, after I talked to my friends and teacher about it, I noticed the negative part of this. If Joseph Kony is in the number one criminal list, why didn’t I know him before? The video involved a lot of action that they expected us to give away money. Since the Kony project is part of Invisble Children, how can we be sure that our donation will go to the children in Uganda. There were so many questions I had. So, I decided to not believe in Invisible Children but to understand that Kony is a very cruel guy and his actions has to be stopped.
