So gigantic the success, so reprehensible the backgrounds. The video of the social campaign 'KONY 2012' of the NPO 'Invisible Children, Inc.' was clicked one hundred million times within a very short time after its publication. But under the pretense of sincere humanitarian intentions against the misdeeds of the alleged war criminal Joseph Kony, this appeal was intended to manipulate public opinion in a manner that led the US government to seek military intervention. This documentary leads to Uganda, the Central African Republic and the United States, and shows what obscure intents - from economic mining interests to religious fundamentalist proselytizing - were actually hide behind the operation of the US military in Africa and the activities of the opaque nonprofit organization with their Christian-right, evangelical financial backers.
