Shoot The People captures Harriman’s journey as he documents global protest movements and drives social change. Showcasing the intersectionality of movements and their collective power the film follows Harriman as he highlights the resilience of grassroots activists who are fighting for equality, civil rights, and social justice. With historical context, interviews with activists, and explorations of digital activism, the documentary reveals how Harriman's lens brings the world's activism to light, inspiring viewers to recognize their own power in shaping a more just society. When Images Make the World | Across activism, artificial intelligence, dreams and reenactment, these films explore the unstable relationship between images and truth. Rather than treating the camera as a neutral recorder, they reveal it as a machine that shapes memory, identity, politics and belief. The lens does not merely capture what we see—it teaches us how to see."
