"Kony 2012", a short film released on March 5, 2012. The film's purpose was to promote the charity's "Stop Kony" movement to make African cult and militia leader, indicted war criminal and the International Criminal Court fugitive Joseph Kony globally known in order to have him arrested by the end of 2012, when the campaign expired. The film spread virally. A poll suggested that more than half of young adult Americans heard about "Kony 2012" in the days following the video's release. It was included among the top international events of 2012 by PBS and called the most viral video ever by "TIME". The campaign resulted in a resolution by the United States Senate and contributed to the decision to send troops by the African Union.
