Panel: From Audience to Activist
Human Rights Watch Film Festival 2017
June 9 - 17, 2017
Join us for a discussion exploring how publicly sourced media is being utilized for impact, as well as the issues civilians face when recording and distributing information, as our panel of filmmakers, journalists and activists share best practices on how to safely and effectively keep powerful institutions accountable.
Cellphone videos and live distribution channels are being used as evidence for advocacy in cases of police and military accountability, protests, hate crimes and beyond. It is clear that we, the people, have the tools to hold power structures to account. The significance of this form of media is clear, however, the serious repercussions for those involved in capturing and distributing the footage is a troubling trend. Join us for a discussion exploring how publicly sourced media is being utilized for impact, as well as the issues civilians face when recording and distributing information, as our panel of filmmakers, journalists and activists share best practices on how to safely and effectively keep powerful institutions accountable.
