Last month, the Video4Change Network met online to reflect on best practices and lessons learned as a community of filmmakers, storytellers, and advocates working amid the challenges of a global pandemic.
As a Network, we have seen video being put to work in trying to document and raise awareness for moments of hope and solidarity, but also to address and lay bare moments of abuse of power and violent authoritarianism that have followed in the wake of COVID-19 societal restrictions. The July 2020 Video4Change Network update will highlight notable efforts by the Video4Change Network members.
EngageMedia’s video lead King Catoy interviewed Nick Lunch, the co-founder of InsighShare and one of the pioneers of Participatory Video.
I was humbled and blown away by this insanely talented, motivated, and experienced group of people, all fighting in their own way for what is right. It seems that many of these activists are fighting familiar struggles and facing similar issues across borders.
