Terror Contagion
Laura Poitras, director of Citizen Four, raises her voice in the midst of COVID lockdown to denounce the violence and violation of human rights by the cyber surveillance company NSO Group.

A visual study by award-winning director Laura Poitras of the cyber surveillance company NSO Group, responsible for the Pegasus software that spies on journalists, political dissidents and activists around the world.

Quipu: Calls for Justice
Esperanza and Teodula ask for justice in rural Peru, after being forcibly sterilized more than 18 years ago, during the Fujimori government. The Quipu Project is a telephone line that allows victims from all over the country to share their shocking testimonies, to avoid impunity for those responsible.
A case of using technology and video to mobilize communities affected by human rights violations by governments. More than 300,000 Peruvian citizens, predominantly poor and indigenous women, were subjected to forced sterilization. The program has been widely described as ethnic cleansing.
