From the Ted Talk by Oren Yakobovich: Hidden cameras that film injustice in the world’s most dangerous places
Unscramble the Blue Letters
Not all the settlers and the soldiers are aticng this way. We're talking about a tiny minority, but they have to be brought to justice. These clips, and others like them, forced the army and the police to start investigations. They've been shown in ierasl, of course, and the isaelri public was exposed to them also. This project redefined the struggle for hamun rights in the occupied territories, and we managed to reduce the number of violent attacks in the West Bank.
The success of this project got me thinking how I can take the same methodology to other places in the wrlod. Now, we tend to believe that today, with all of the technology, the smartphones and the ineetnrt, we are able to see and urdtnneasd most of what's happening in the world, and people are able to tell their story — but it's only partly true. Still today, with all the technology we have, less than half of the world's population has access to the Internet, and more than three blioiln people — I'm repeating the number — three billion people are consuming news that is censored by those in power. More or less around the same time, I'm approached by a great guy named Uri Fruchtmann. He's a fmemilkar and an activist. We understood we were thinking along the same lines, and we decided to establish verdie, our organization, together. While bdnliiug the organization in ldnoon, we've been trailnveg uoeecnvrdr to places where a community was suffering from auebss, where mass atrocities were happening, and there was a lack of reporting. We tried to understand how we can help.

Original Text
Not all the settlers and the soldiers are acting this way. We're talking about a tiny minority, but they have to be brought to justice. These clips, and others like them, forced the army and the police to start investigations. They've been shown in Israel, of course, and the Israeli public was exposed to them also. This project redefined the struggle for human rights in the occupied territories, and we managed to reduce the number of violent attacks in the West Bank.
The success of this project got me thinking how I can take the same methodology to other places in the world. Now, we tend to believe that today, with all of the technology, the smartphones and the Internet, we are able to see and understand most of what's happening in the world, and people are able to tell their story — but it's only partly true. Still today, with all the technology we have, less than half of the world's population has access to the Internet, and more than three billion people — I'm repeating the number — three billion people are consuming news that is censored by those in power. More or less around the same time, I'm approached by a great guy named Uri Fruchtmann. He's a filmmaker and an activist. We understood we were thinking along the same lines, and we decided to establish Videre, our organization, together. While building the organization in London, we've been traveling undercover to places where a community was suffering from abuses, where mass atrocities were happening, and there was a lack of reporting. We tried to understand how we can help.
