On March 7th, my English 115 class watched a video titled "Kony 2012" because some of my peers persuaded the teacher telling him that it was worth watching. Kony 2012 is a film created by Invisible Children, Inc. which became a viral video. The purpose is to promote the charity's 'Stop Kony' movement to make indicted Ugandan war criminal Joseph Kony internationally known in order to arrest him in 2012.
Rhetorical strategies that the filmmaker Jason Russell used was comparing his son's innocent viewpoint about this issue, and how the government see this issue as not important affair for the United States. The reason why spreading this video had an important role is because we are making the U.S government to do something about it. As one of the result is the "deploying of 100 American advisors" to help the Ugandan army to arrest Kony. That was the first time when the U.S. took this kind of action because of the people demanding to do something about this issue.
