You have to watch this ...It's called KONY 2012 and focuses on a man the filmmakers call the world's worst criminal. And while the charity that made it wants awareness and money, the Better Business Bureau advises caution.
The charity is called Invisible Children. If you take a look at top twitter trends it's been there all day. But as the visibility of this video continues to grow, so do concerns about it. The video itself runs a half an hour and discusses the Lords' Resistance Army in Africa and how it kidnaps children and turns them into soldiers and make young girls sex slaves.
"There's definitely something to it that people didn't know about and that now that they know about it they're shocked and they want to share it," she said.
The charity is asking people all over the world to gather and put up posters about Kony on April 20th. Olivia McDougal and her friends at Clayton High School say they will.
Some celebs have tweeted about the cause like Diddy and Cassie, Oprah and more. The campaign is targeting 20 culture icons who can use their influential voices to keep the deployed U.S. military advisors in Uganda until Kony is arrested. Below are some of the names
