WITNESS – Videos that opened their eyes in 2009


WITNESS remains one of the stand out organisations working with and empowering people to use video for social activism. It seems only yesterday, but is apparently two years, since they launched their excellent Hub.

Here, WITNESS staff and interns nominate the videos from 2009 that made the most impact with them. Included are ‘Choose a Different Ending‘, an excellent interactive YouTube video on knife crime in the UK allowing you to make choices on how the story unfolds and ends. I thought this had been featured here but I can’t find it. May be I just dreamt it?

Also featured is the superb ‘Gabura‘ by Oxfam UK that looks at the impact of climate change on a community in Bangladesh.
