The Communication Initiative
As of March 15 2025, The Communication Initiative (The CI) platform is operating at a reduced level, with no new content being posted to the global website and registration/login functions disabled. (La Iniciativa de Comunicación, or CILA, will keep running.) While many interactive functions are no longer available, The CI platform remains open for public use, with all content accessible and searchable until the end of 2025. 

Please note that some links within our knowledge summaries may be broken due to changes in external websites. The denial of access to the USAID website has, for instance, left many links broken. We can only hope that these valuable resources will be made available again soon. In the meantime, our summaries may help you by gleaning key insights from those resources. 

A heartfelt thank you to our network for your support and the invaluable work you do.

  • Katerina Cizek and Peter Wintonick
This video explores the uses of handicams and new communication technologies by human right activists, war crime investigators, right-wing videographers and citizens. The video answers questions about what happens when front-line advocates document what they are seeing.

This video included hundreds of hours of footage from amateurs all over the world and helps illustrate how "do-it-yourself" filmaking relates to mainstream media. There are movie and music clips, director's biographies, production contacts and an electronic press kit.

The film features:
  • joey r.b. lozano
  • the nakamata coalition
  • ondrej cakl and the skinheads
  • rodney king case
  • the international criminal tribunals
  • bbc's george alagiah
