Today, @AP, @frontlinepbs, and @situ_research release “Crime Scene: Bucha,” a 15-minute video investigating alleged Russian atrocities committed in Bucha, a suburb of Kyiv, Ukraine. Watch the full video here: youtube.com/watch?v=WW8YYh…
To analyze the scale of the massacre in Bucha, our team collaborated with Ukrainian citizen research group, Jus Talionis, to document the violence that resulted in over 450 deaths during Russia's month-long occupation that began in late February 2022. @AP@frontlinepbs
Today with @hrw we release “The Trap”: a visual investigation into police tactics used against protesters in The Bronx on June 4, 2020.
See how protesters were kettled just before the city-wide curfew, making them targets of unnecessary violence & arrests youtu.be/ovsQoElXzl8
A short methodology thread for our latest project in collaboration with @AP investigating a May 14 Israeli Air strike on the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun. We partnered closely with AP journalist @adgeller and videographer @felipedana, as well as investigators from @hrcberkeley.
Today @hrw and @situ_research release “Death at the Station: Russian Cluster Munition Attack in Kramatorsk,” an investigation examining Russia’s indiscriminate attack in Kramatorsk on April 8, 2022 where several hundred civilians were waiting to evacuate.
In this previously unreleased NYPD helicopter footage from 6/4/20, we get an extremely clear angle of the “kettling” tactic deployed by the NYPD against peaceful protesters in Mott Haven, Bronx, corroborating our past analysis with @hrw.
Today, in collaboration w/ @AP, we launch a video examining the aftermath of a May 14th Israeli strike on the Gaza town of Beit Hanoun. We focus on the enormous labor required to rehabilitate the area, which constitutes its own slower form of violence. youtu.be/dWE7hRkXHVo
We're excited to launch a beta version of Codec, a new digital tool for managing, analyzing, and presenting video evidence. Join us on 6/7 at 12pm ET for a workshop by Bora Erden, Technical Lead at SITU Research. RSVP to learn more and receive a Zoom link. bit.ly/3sBTzY4
This video focuses on the month-long period in which Russian forces stalled out in Bucha after failing to advance on the Ukrainian capital. When they left in early April, what they left behind was evidence of a massacre, the scale of which had not previously been understood.
Today, @CentroProdh, @AliciadelosRos2 and @situ_research release “The Death Flights”, a visual investigation documenting a clandestine program of enforced disappearances by the Mexican military during the so-called "Dirty War" of the 70s and 80s. Watch: shorturl.at/iCVX0
In an effort to reconstruct a coherent account of these events, we have assembled this evidence into a video that renders visible the patterns of violence that led to the deaths of so many Ukrainian civilians.
Today @nytimes features our reconstruction of Ukraine's Euromaidan protests—which mobilizes 400+ videos to examine police responsibility for civilian deaths. Big thanks to partners @jaydaronson @kemachal Evelyn Nefertari, Pavel Dykan & Alexandra Yatsenko
