All over the world there are international organizations dedicated to combating injustice, racism, and the violation of human rights. Now there is a site aimed at helping these organizations get their message out visually by providing them with film equipment and production assistance.
Witness.org is presenting itself as a global meeting place for filmmakers and people who care about enacting change in the world. The site functions as a virtual liason between human rights organizations and people who are working in the film industry.
Witness.org In Their Own Words
“WITNESS is an international human rights organization that provides training and support to local groups to use video in their human rights advocacy campaigns. Beyond providing video cameras and editing equipment, WITNESS is committed to facilitating exposure for our partners” issues on a global scale. We help broker relationships with international media outlets, government officials, policymakers, activists, and the general public so that once a video is made, it can be used as a tool to advocate for change.”
Why Witness.org It Might Be A Killer
Human rights organizations and other NGOs are always looking for ways to reach out to people about their efforts.
Some Questions About Witness.org
If Witness wants to grow and reach more organizations, they may need to push for more ways to make money, as donations may not provide enough funding for their projects. However, if they can bring in enough profit from their line of videos and books, they may have financial success.
