KONY 2012: The Viral Campaign That Shook the World

Remember KONY 2012? The viral campaign that promised to stop a Ugandan warlord, save thousands of children, and change the world — all with a share button. Back in 2012, American filmmaker Jason Russell set out to make the name Joseph Kony known across the globe. What followed was one of the first true internet phenomena: a YouTube video viewed by millions in days, wristbands and posters everywhere, celebrity endorsements, and a wave of online activism that felt unstoppable. In this episode, we look back at what KONY 2012 really was. Not just a viral video, but a moment that revealed how social media, good intentions, and simplified storytelling can collide – often with damaging consequences. We unpack the reality of Joseph Kony and the conflict in Uganda, the misinformation in the campaign, and how quickly the movement unravelled under scrutiny, memes, and backlash.
