Their principal job is to verify and publicizes human-rights abuses that the world needs to know. The leads of the organization have been travelling undercover to places where community was suffering abuses and atrocities for understand how they can help

They use hidden cameras which can camouflage with the environment for record injustices that are happening in the world’s most dangerous places, particularly in rural areas, where there are happening a lot of things but nobody can see it because is far from the public eye.

This way of film is for guaranty the security of them and for this reason the organization sometimes works undercover.

He explains some real cases about people that, with hidden cameras, recorded some atrocities that they were living.

One of them is the story of Mery, women from an African village who belong to the wrong party and received threats from them and uses violence during the elections. She recorded the situation and a party meeting with a small hidden camera that no one else can see, risking her life, with the objective of stop them and to protect herself and her community.

Her films broke the impunity of the party, she and her friends force the party for not to use violence during the election and saved a lot of lives.
