I produced this 3D-animated video that showcased the hazardous use of tear gas as part of the 'Webby' award-winning website, Tear Gas: An Investigation. This project aimed to bring attention to the shadowy and poorly regulated global trade of tear gas, which has fueled human rights violations by law enforcement against peaceful protesters worldwide.
Amnesty International's interactive, multimedia site delves into the nature, application, and misuse of tear gas by security forces across the globe. The site documents numerous cases where tear gas misuse has led to severe injuries or even fatalities. The content's timely release coincides with the anniversary of the Hong Kong Police Force's months-long tear gas assault on peaceful demonstrations – a pattern that has recently resumed – and the widespread use of tear gas by police forces in numerous cities across the United States.
By providing a compelling and informative visual representation of the dangers associated with tear gas, this video played a significant role in raising awareness and driving engagement around a pressing human rights issue.
