Human rights through video and blogs

The nonprofit group, Witness.org, uses new video technology to expose and resist human rights abuses. Their slogan: "See it. Film it. Change it." This intro video describes how Witness distributes cameras to minimize abuse.

Vancouver Film School students created this video, "Iran, A Nation of Bloggers", and put it online months before the tech-fueled protests over Iran's disputed 2009 election.
