Jason Russell (Kony Captured)

Jason Russell (born October 12, 1978) is an American film and theater director, choreographer, and activist who co-founded Invisible Children, Inc. He is the director of Kony 2012, a short documentary film that went viral in the beginning of March 2012.

Kony 2012
Released on March 5, 2012, the film's subject is about exposing Joseph Kony's war crimes in Central Africa, such as the use of child soldiers. In a span of 72 hours, it garnered 43 million views and countless support from the viewers globally. A week later, however, it would receive negative criticisms due to its overambitious nature.

On March 15, 2012, Russell was caught by San Diego police after running around naked in his neighborhood while shouting and apparently masturbating. He was not charged and was sent to a hospital for treatment. It was there then he revealed that the amount of views he received had overwhelmed him, causing him to go stir. This resulted to even more negative criticisms for Kony 2012.

On April 5, 2012, the sequel for Kony 2012, entitled Kony 2012 Part II: Beyond Famous was released in which it included Invincible Children's defense in the midst of the negative criticisms.

On April 20, 2012, the Cover the Night campaign flopped, with only a margin of people who promised to partake in the event even participating.
