10 Tactics for Turning Information into Action is a 50-minute film documenting inspiring info-activism stories from around the world, with ­interviews and case studies highlighting dozens of campaigns. This film, produced by the Tactical Technology Collective, provides original and artful ways for rights advocates to capture attention and communicate a cause.

At this Open Society Institute screening and discussion, Sam Gregory of WITNESS, profiled in the film, and Melissa Gira Grant, a research consultant for the film, as well as other information activists, address how to turn information into action.
