Description: WITNESS seeks freelance editors to work on advocacy videos in partnership with human rights activists

WITNESS is continually updating its roster of freelance editors that are available to work on a per project contract basis on human rights advocacy documentaries. Editors will work on 3-25 minute documentaries alongside WITNESS staff and human rights activists from WITNESS’ partner organizations from around the globe. The editing process is an inclusive one and editors are also expected to play an instructional/facilitative role as human rights activists learn how to be producers. A typical edit for a medium-length video lasts approximately six weeks and editors will be required to commit to the entire length of the project.

WITNESS uses video and online technologies to open the eyes of the world to human rights violations. We empower people to transform personal stories of abuse into powerful tools for justice, promoting public engagement and policy change. WITNESS was conceived by musician and advocate Peter Gabriel in 1992. Today, WITNESS is a highly respected and rapidly growing independent nonprofit organization with an annual budget of $4.7 million and a staff of thirty. WITNESS has been the recipient of numerous awards, including the 2007 New York Times Nonprofit Excellence in Communications Award, the first ever Emmy Humanitarian Award, the 2007 American Express Building Leadership Award by Independent Sector, Reuters’ 2006 Mohamed Amin Award in recognition of outstanding contributions to TV News, and has been chosen as one of the leading entrepreneurial organizations in the U.S. by Fast Company/Monitor Group for the fourth year in a row: www.witness.org
