  • Storytelling Strategies for Immigrant Justice in the U.S. We've compiled examples of videos that illustrate responsible, community-centered and effective storytelling for immigrants' rights. Strategic storytelling can be an antidote to the dehumanization of migrants that stems from the racism and xenophobia embedded in U.S. federal policies, violent enforcement practices, and dominant discourses about immigrants. Isabel Pinheiro May 11, 2021
  • New Series Launch! Eyes on ICE: Documenting Immigration Abuses This is Part One of our new "Eyes On ICE: Documenting Immigration Abuses" series, which examines the role of video in exposing immigration abuses, holding Immigration and Customs officials accountable, and advocating for communities.

Pali Makam November 14, 2017

  • The Cost of A Border Surge? 5,000 Dead and Counting A new documentary shows the human cost of immigration through the stories of migrants' remains found in the Sonoran desert, and through those who work to identify them. WITNESS August 23, 2013
  • #ImHere – THE CALL: A Choice No Mother Should Face Imagine dropping your child off at school every day, afraid that you won't be back at pick-up time. Imagine staying with a violent partner because calling the cops could tear you away from your kids. Imagine arranging for a neighbor to take care of your children in case you disappear — which could happen any time. Tough to imagine? This is reality for millions of immigrant women in the United States. WITNESS October 26, 2012
  • Video Advocacy Example: Not In Our Town – Light in the Darkness The rise of anti-immigrant violence is an urgent global problem threatening the fabric of community life everywhere, creating complex new challenges—and it is most intensely fought at the local level. WITNESS September 21, 2011
