1. What is the social issue being focused on in the documentary?
Kony's dictatorship in Uganda.
2. Summarise what happens in the beginning/middle/end of this documentary
The film shows the complications of the World, events that are faced by different people. In the middle of the film we are shown the film makers attempts to rally up thousands of people for protest.
3. What type of documentary is this? Conventions used?
It is a documentary very similar to 'Bowling for Columbine', albeit without the satirical humour.
4. What techniques are used to maintain the audiences attention?
The film is stylized very cinematically for a documentary. The film- maker uses interviews featuring his young son, and uses a lot of special graphics to transition to different scenes.
5. What is the purpose of this documentary? What change is it campaigning?
The purpose of this documentary is to try to stop a murderous rebel group called the LRA in Uganda and a dictator named Joseph Kony.
6. Who is the target audience? Age/gender/interests/location/languages etc.
Everybody all around the World. The film makes it clear that the solution to the problrm can involve everybody, including young people.
7. How have they been targeted?
They have been targeted through social media.
8. How is the audience encouraged to participate in creating change?
Through viral campaigns and being encouraged by the film- maker. They tell them to make more people aware of Kony by putting him in the spotlight.
I think this documentary is very unethical in its way of doing things and is very preachy.
