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.

(Note: this film contains disturbing footage of war.) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
