E-Team
E-TEAM follows the intrepid and often hazardous work of four human rights investigators as they document abuses in the midst of conflict zones in Syria and Libya. The investigators are members of the Emergencies Team, or E-Team, of an international human rights organization. Human rights abuses thrive on secrecy and silence – the job of the E-Team is to tear away the secrecy and give a voice to the victims whose stories might otherwise never be heard.
