A lot of today’s war footage is shot on phones and posted to platforms that were never meant to permanently store it. Digital archivist and TED Fellow Hadi Al Khatib founded Mnemonic to save these photos and videos before they vanish. Learn how his team is turning people’s social media posts into evidence of crimes that holds up in court — and building an archive that ensures the truth outlasts the war. (Note: this film contains disturbing footage of war.)
