From Rio to NYC: Can eyewitness video end impunity for police abuse?

WITNESS Media Lab: https://lab.witness.org/projects From Baltimore to Rio, killings and brutality at the hands of police are at the center of public discussion. In case after case, videos eyewitnesses footage is exposing systemic abuse to wider audiences and resulting in increased media attention, public debate, and in some cases, a measure of justice. So for victims and communities most affected by police abuse, is video the best hope for truth and accountability? The WITNESS Media Lab invites you to explore that question with us, as we bring together leaders from the U.S. and Brazil who have used videos to expose police brutality, change the national conversation, and catalyze justice, often at great personal risk.
