What's Your Human Rights Story?

Do you have a video camera and something to say about human rights? If so, this is your chance to show the world how rights affect your life and your community.

On November 11, 2011 (11/11/11), join thousands of other inspired citizens around the world in recording the human experience over a 24-hour period as part of One Day On Earth. Help us show the world why human rights are vital by taking part in this day of filming. All you need is a video camera and an internet connection, and your video can be as short as 1 minute. You could describe rights that are denied or document the rights that you particularly appreciate, such as the right to health, education, or freedom of speech.

The videos will be stored and shared online at One Day on Earth and later turned into a longer film. Click here for more details on how to participate. When people across the Middle East and North Africa used video to document abuses and demand their rights, it inspired the rest of the world. Let’s build on their achievements and use video to raise awareness about the importance of human rights.
