The group is hoping the second video will achieve the same success as the first. Following criticism of the first film, the group decided to put together another film to answer questions. The film, titled Beyond Famous, premiered worldwide 5 April. It explains the creation of the campaign and what has been achieved so far in the quest to stop Kony.

According to Invisible Children:
Beyond Famous offers a closer look at the LRA and explores the solutions put forward by leaders of the currently-affected areas of CAR, DRC, and South Sudan, where local communities continue to live under the constant threat of LRA violence. This generation has responded to the call to make Joseph Kony famous. Now we need to dig deeper and turn awareness into informed action. That starts with sharing this film and continues with participating in Cover the Night, the advocacy and awareness event taking place worldwide on April 20th.
Stopping Kony has to be part of a comprehensive strategy that includes civilian protection & global collaboration. Cue PART II #beyondfamous
