"The material is FANTASTIC. Folks in my office are fighting over a chance to have a look. I think it is an especially useful tool for trainers, such as myself, who are constantly on the look out for great, inspirational materials. I also like the versatility of it and just how attractive the design is. It is very portable too."
Gina Sanchez, Greenpeace International, The Netherlands
"I definitely plan to develop trainings with the 10 tactics pack. The video is a powerful way for us to explain why what we do is important and the cards will help us guide others through the choices they need to make to realise their projects and goals. Eventually, we'd like to adapt these materials into Arabic."
Jessica Dheere, Social Media Exchange, Lebanon
"Human rights violations are so prevalent in Sri Lanka and sometimes the tools that we have don't serve the purpose to address this. 10 tactics has given us so many refreshing ideas.”
Manohari Sanjeewika, freelance video journalist, Sri Lanka
“The 10 tactics pack is excellent. Many helpful tips and ideas for formulating communication strategies and rolling out an advocacy campaign. The design is functional as well as attractive and colourful. Thanks Tactical Technology Collective!”

“[The 10 tactics screening] reminded me of a meeting I attended with Steve Jobs and Wozniak in Palo Alto, 1982. Filled with vision and energy.”
Martha Jennings, Save the Children, UK
“What an inspiring movie! I see our organisation, Open Maps Caucasus, using many of these tactics as we implement new projects in the region. I was particularly interested in how large data sets can be visualized through maps (as was seen in Darfur and Lebanon).”
Austin Miles Cowley, Open Maps Caucasus, Georgia
“With films like 10 tactics...there is now a wealth of information and advice available to organisations who want to embrace the possibilities of [new] technologies and work more effectively.”
Bill Thompson, Digital Planet, BBC, UK
“It’s just what activists need: clear, timely, and concise information that can be easily put into action.”
Mary Joyce, DigiActive, US
“The info-activism toolkits were remarkable … well laid-out and appealingly designed... The examples of activism used to demonstrate the 10 tactics were inspiring. 10 tactics provided invaluable insight and ideas, as well as experienced words of caution, for how to turn information into action and demonstrated how rights advocates around the world are using the Internet and digital technologies to create positive change.”
Anasakia Elsom, rights activist, Australia
“Very inspiring movie: I think some tools and tactics covered in the movie, can be used in Georgia too.”
Tiko Tsomaia, Journalist, Georgia
"The film was inspiring ...because there are times when people do feel helpless. Sometimes there are already cases of violence against civilians and how do we go about making these cases known to the public so that we could see justice? We have to find ways to empower ourselves not just with principles but with the know-how as well."
Clair Ching, blogger,Philippines
“This documentary is very important and timely viewing for all and most relevant to advocates working in the grassroots, campaigners, information activists”
The Centre for Internet & Society, India

“Dissemination of information is very important. This film can play an important role in turning information into action.”
Robaet Ferdous, Associate Professor of Mass Communication and Journalism Department of Dhaka University
"These stories make us interrogate ourselves about the ways in which we currently use social media, and consider how we could start using them for purposes that go beyond our own self interest. [The film] has provided us with stimulus as viewers to explore the virtual world in a way that can be the key for creating great changes in the real world."
Mariana Moraes, student, Brazil
“I like the way the film mixes high-tech tools and "good sense", basic reason. This movie can be of interest for both "people in the business" (ie NGOs, activists, etc.) and the general public, who are more and more aware of what is at stake.”
Elsa Caternet, Internews, France
"Activists and campaigners are increasingly turning to digital technology and social media platforms to get their messages across..."10 Tactics for Turning Information into Action" provides a handbook in how best to disseminate their ideas.”

“The first time I heard these stories I felt so excited. I could feel hope and inspiration. I will carry [the film] with me wherever I go and show it to people, especially in places where we do media training.”
petitpor, Thailand
“I think it's important to show this film in Brazil. I'll use It to inspire people in the use of new technologies for activism.”
VJ Pixel, rights advocate, Brazil
“The film strengthened my motivation as an activist through the tools I already use, while also showing me new ones I was previously unaware of. At the same time, it made me feel closer to a reality that is not usually portrayed in the mass media, making me feel stronger.”
Tiago Lucena, political blogger, Portugal
“I think the film came as a surprise to the audience and as a great inspiration too. The follow-up discussion revealed that there’s a lot to talk about – people were asking about the details and tactics and technology and how-to-dos.”
Ana Keshelashvili, Assistant Professor, Georgian Institute of Public Affairs, Georgia
"We had a screening at the Amnesty Australia Sydney office last week and it was really successful. I am going to be running some planning/training sessions with Amnesty University groups early next year and I would really like to give each of the groups a package to help them with campaigning."
Courtney Payne, Amnesty International, Australia
"Thank you for supporting the local community we work with. Resources such these are really add value to the social justice and media justice initiatives in San Antonio."
DeAnne Cuellar, Texas Media Empowerment Project, USA
"Our screening was wonderful.... The Kibera maps piece was central to the screening as discussions ensued on how the maps could be used by the locals for advocacy around service delivery. There were also interesting synergies with Well Told Stories that will serialize some of the practices in Kenya in the form of a comic."
Philip Thigo, Social Development Network, Kenya
“The [10 tactics screening in Sydney] was a great opportunity to consider the use of new technologies and those present in our day to day lives in campaigning for social change and defending human rights. It also brought together our community of like-minded organisations and individuals working in Sydney together in a human rights movement. I’m still hearing from people who’d like to get a copy of the film, or come along to another screening as word spreads to others’ contacts in the field.”
James Fehon, human rights activist, Australia
“It was a really good and timely film to watch.”
Ucha Nanuashvili, Human Rights Information and Documentation Center, Georgia
“I think the film is a powerful illustration of how smart advocacy in the digital age can effectively influence the course of events.”
Vera Franz, Open Society Institute, UK

If you want to learn from the experience of others
Watch this film!"
