"The goal of the Field Guide is to provide methods for filmers to use so that their videos can be as valuable as possible in exposing abuse and bringing about justice. This resource will help ensure that more cameras in more hands can lead to more exposure and greater justice. Activists producing footage that they hope will be used not only by journalists but also by investigators and court rooms must consider these fundamental questions: Is it clear where and when the video was filmed? Can this video be verified? Has it been tampered with or edited? Is the footage relevant to a human rights crime? Can the video’s chain of custody be proved? Would its helpfulness in securing justice outweigh its potential to undermine justice? These are some of the issues we explore throughout the guide while providing practical guidance on addressing them." (p.5)
