In just a few days, a film highlighting the atrocities committed by Joseph Kony has become a worldwide internet sensation and brought renewed attention to the man described as 'Africa's most wanted'.
In 2010, Aaron Lewis from SBS's Dateline was the first journalist permitted to travel with Ugandan troops as they trekked through the jungle searching for Kony, who's evaded capture for over 20 years.
His Lord's Resistance Army has kidnapped 10,000 children, forcing them to become child soldiers or sex slaves, and killed thousands more people.

Watch on Tuesday, and read more now on the Dateline website.
