Tanzanian activists learning to edit and the ‘magic' of making films. A short film about the final edit workshop conducted as part of EIA's 3-year training programme in Tanzania, funded by the UK Government, DFID. The video is a short edit I made over the weekend having shot it on the Canon 5D last week. I am spending 2 weeks running a workshop to train activists in Tanzania how to edit and the video shows some of my good friends.

Paul Redman (director, lighting cameraman, writer and editor) I am an established documentary filmmaker having documented some of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. My work has involved investigating and documenting using covert and open filming techniques in some of the remotest parts of the world.

The Environmental Investigation Agency works towards the empowering of local people to protect their environments. We do this by sharing the skills and methods we have used and continue to use within our campaigns. These skills include campaign planning, documenting with video and photography, presenting information and accessing the press.

Where possible we seek funding to help to supply the tools necessary to our partners on the ground. Through this work EIA has developed a network for information and skills sharing in many of the areas in which we are active, around the world.
