Providing a tool to help capture footage of international atrocities

When an international atrocity occurs, often human rights defenders, journalists and citizens will capture footage of it using their recording devices. We need to put this reliable tech into the hands of every day citizens so they can be active witness to injustice.

the problem
Nature and Context

Globally, humans face atrocities every day. Many people end up witnessing crimes being made against others, but feel powerless in helping them obtain justice. By using smartphone technology to capture the metadata that's needed when that data is handed over for use in an  investigation or trial, we can put the power in the hands of the people.
