This is a blog to document the travels of people from WITNESS. To kick things off, Becky and I will be camping out with 90,000 people outside of Nashville, Tennessee for the Bonnaroo Music Festival.
Bonnaroo is highlighting WITNESS this year, helping us raise awareness about the work we do around the world. In case you haven’t heard, WITNESS was started by Peter Gabriel 15 years ago. We are a nonprofit human rights org based in Brooklyn and we use video and online technologies to open the eyes of the world to human rights violations.
Our videos are being screened in the ‘Roo’s first ever documentary tent. We’re also giving a workshop on Thursday night. We hope have a couple special guests visiting our tent. Stay tuned for more info.
