Kony 2012 est un événement international organisé par le groupe Invisible Children. Le but recherché est de faire connaître mondialement Joseph Kony pour mieux faciliter son arrestation. Joseph Kony est responsable de crimes d'enlèvements d'enfants pour en faire des soldats, de réduction d'enfants à l'esclavage ainsi que l'esclavage sexuel pour les jeunes filles, de nombreux massacres civils, d'exactions et de nombreuses destructions et pillages réalisés par les troupes de chocs. Ce criminel est resté dans le silence pendant une vingtaine d'années à commettre ses crimes sans en payer les conséquences.

In the spring of 2003, Jason Russell, Bobby Bailey, and Laren Poole traveled to Africa to document the War in Darfur. Instead, they changed their focus to the conflict in northern Uganda, Africa's second longest-running conflict after the Eritrean War of Independence. The documentary depicts the abduction of children who are used as child soldiers by Joseph Kony and his Lord's Resistance Army (LRA). This film centers around a group of Ugandan children who walk miles every night to places of refuge in order to avoid abduction by the LRA.

April, 1994. Genocide in Rwanda. 800,000 dead. A catastrophe that upset the balance in the entire region. The Great Lakes region of Africa ended the year with a bloodbath. This documentary shows the intrigues, the dramatic effects, the treasons, the vengeances that prevailed over those years and whose only goal was to maintain or increase each faction’s area of influence. In just ten years, the population saw all their hopes vanish: The dream of an Africa in control of its own destiny, alimentary self-sufficiency, the end of interethnic conflicts.
