Jason Russell is an American political activist responsible for the campaign "Kony 2012". This is a viral sensation that swept the entire world in less than 24 hours during March 2012. Its main subject is the African rebel leader Joseph Kony, his war crimes and the clearly defined “movement” to stop him. Countless celebrities endorsed the movement, news sources reported it and social media buzzed with it. While the problem of guerrilla warfare and child soldiers has plagued Africa for decades, and several documentaries have already been produced regarding the issue, this particular 29-minute video managed to obtain mass exposure and support. He was recently arrested for vandalizing cars and masutbating in public.
