The wife of a local filmmaker discovered naked and ranting during mental collapse in a residential area of Pacific Beach has urged that all eyes remain on the Ugandan conflict chronicled in the filmmaker’s wildly attention-getting work. Danica Russell, wife of filmmaker Jason Russell, asked in a statement issued “on Jason’s behalf” last week that viewers of the controversial Internet movie “Kony 2012” “keep your attention turned to the end of Africa’s longest-running conflict and setting a precedent for all future injustice. With love and overflow of gratitude for your prayers, we thank you.” “Kony 2012,” Russell’s 30-minute documentary that went viral on the Internet, details the 20-year rise of the Lord’s Resistance Army, a Uganda-based rebel organization founded and led by warlord Joseph Kony. The film alleges that Kony is responsible for the abduction of 30,000 Ugandan youth who were then armed and forced to commit random crimes of violence throughout the area under the threat of death. Kony allegedly wants to install a government in Uganda based on the Bible’s Ten Commandments. The film has been viewed more than 80 million times on YouTube. On March 24, the African Union deployed a 5,000-troop force in the hunt for Kony, who is thought to be hiding in the Central African Republic. He and his aides have been wanted by the International Criminal Court since 2005. Russell, 33, was detained by San Diego police and taken to a local hospital March 15 after he allegedly vandalized cars, shouted incoherently and publicly touched himself in a residential area of Pacific Beach. A Russell family statement said Russell had been diagnosed with “brief reactive psychosis, an acute state brought on by extreme exhaustion, stress and dehydration.” Danica Russell has said that her husband’s condition will keep him hospitalized for weeks. Russell is a native of El Cajon, where his parents run the Christian Youth Theatre. He married Danica in 2004 in La Jolla. The Russells have two children. Russell co-founded the nonprofit Invisible Children, Inc., in 2006 to raise awareness of the child soldiers’ plight. Invisible Children’s offices are located at 1620 Fifth Ave. in downtown San Diego. A phone inquiry to the company was unreturned.
