  • Video Evidence from Sri Lanka’s No Fire Zones Spurs UN Investigation Filmmaker Callum Macrae discusses his documentary looking into and calling for a UN investigation of human rights abuses committed toward the end of Sri Lanka's 26-year civil war. WITNESS December 18, 2014
  • Video as Evidence: Adding Detailed Information to Your Video Adding information about who, what, when, where to your video makes it easier to verify the content, therefore giving it a better chance to secure justice for human rights abuse. Kelly Matheson November 19, 2014
  • Video as Evidence: Filming The Aftermath of a Human Rights Incident Film the aftermath of a human rights incident can be vitally important to investigations. This is the second installment in the "Video as Evidence" blog series from WITNESS. Kelly Matheson October 24, 2014

  • From Exposure to Evidence: Confronting the Limitations of Digital Video In an age of information overload and image manipulation, it is no longer enough to simply film—and thereby, expose—injustice. Nor is it enough to simply watch it. New resources from WITNESS and our partners aim to help activists use online video to bring about change. WITNESS February 6, 2014
