The truth about the "KONY 2012" hype"No one wants a boring documentary on Africa. Maybe we have to make it pop, and we have to make it cool. We view ourself (sic) as the Pixar of human rights stories. They are getting in touch with the Academy Awards. They want this to be up for an Oscar."
-Kony 2012 filmmaker JASON RUSSEL.
