- This Week in Human Rights Video: Muslim Groups Targeted in Sri Lanka and Ethiopia Also, opposition to political amnesty in Thailand, activists in Taiwan protest a new proposed nuclear plant and a civil rights activist in China speaks out.
- Video Advocacy Example: Religious Persecution of the Baha’is in Iran The short documentary series “Angels of Iran” strives to raise awareness about a minority group that is too often left out of history books and conversations. In each video, Iran’s Baha’is come forward to tell their own stories of persecution and oppression. The videos do not come in any set order, but “Faith and Sacrifice: The Baha’is in Iran” provides an effective introduction for those who know little about the Baha’i Faith. It offers a broad overview of the situation and introduces us to Iran’s Baha’is on a very personal level.
- Video Advocacy Example: Cultivating Compassion and Support for Iraqi Refugees Last spring I interned for Righteous Pictures (RP) a film and new media production company that operates with two arms: content creation, which includes the creation and production of both feature and short films, and content engagement to enhance the overall impact of film projects.
- Video Advocacy Example: American Muslims Use Video to Help Shift Public Perception With the online film and social media project “My Fellow American” - Americans are encouraged to pledge and spread awareness that Muslims are our fellow Americans. They have developed a productive and interactive way to engage society in identifying American Muslims in their communities and to discuss their important roles as part of the community.
