Abstract

THE IDEA FOR WHAT WOULD BECOME WITNESS emerged from a very personal experience of singer Peter Gabriel, back in the late 1980s. He had gone on an international world tour with Amnesty International, and carried with him a Hi8 camera, the state of the art at the time, so he could capture and film the stories people were sharing of imprisonment, torture, and violence. He realized then that if people could meet and hear the stories that he was hearing, it would be hard for them to deny these things were taking place, and they would be moved to act to right these wrongs. Peter recognized, even then, the power of the visual image to create change.
