- This research portfolio comprises: It Stays With You: Use of Force by UN Peacekeepers in Haiti (2018, 51 min.); Right Now I Want to Scream: Police and Army Killings in Rio – the Brazil Haiti Connection (2020, 62 mins.); ‘The Use of Film to Challenge Non-Inclusive Narratives of Peacekeeping Successes in Haiti’ (co-authored with Siobhán Wills (Ulster), Journal of Human Rights Practice (12. 3, 2020: 642–663); ‘Possibilities and Challenges: Issues in ethical filmmaking using It Stays With You as a Case Study' (co-authored with Wills) in Dodd, S. (ed.), Ethics and Integrity in Visual Research Methods. Emerald (2020, pp. 93-103).
The films and peer-reviewed articles and a website are research outputs from two linked AHRC-funded projects – on law enforcement operations by the UN Stabilisation Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) and on operations by Brazilian security forces in Brazil. The films were produced using participatory practices, with participants retaining co-ownership of their stories. Discussions with community groups and individuals preceded the filming and concluded the editing to ensure transparency and accountability. ISWY investigates how peacekeepers' use of deadly force was interpreted by MINUSTAH in relation to human rights law. We filmed with the residents of a Port-au-Prince neighbourhood, where UN raids had left scores of people dead and many injured. Participants told us that no one from the UN or the Haitian government had visited their neighbourhood to hear their testimonies. RNIWTS investigates violations of the right to life caused by militarised policing in Rio de Janeiro. The influence of ex-MINUSTAH personnel in setting security policy increased under President Bolsonaro. After negotiations with favela community leaders, residents offered their testimonies. The films have screened internationally, including ISWY at the Soros-funded FOKAL centre, Port-au-Princ, and the UN Human Rights Council, Geneva, and RNIWTS winning best documentary at the Port Blair FF, India.
