Al Jazeera's Witness examines global activism through the work of British Nigerian photographer and activist Misan Harriman. The feature, titled "Shoot the People", focuses on his images of protests linked to campaigns for social change.
Harriman's work places public demonstrations at the centre of the visual record. His lens draws attention to collective political action and to the people who gather in shared spaces to make their concerns visible.
For European audiences, the film's subject speaks to a wider cross-border debate about civic participation, the right to protest and the role of images in shaping public understanding of political events. Photography can preserve moments that might otherwise be reduced to brief headlines or official statements.
"Shoot the People" presents activism as an international phenomenon rather than a series of isolated national events. The feature underscores how visual documentation can connect local demonstrations to broader struggles for social change.
