If you saw #BBCAfricaEye’s 2018 film ‘Anatomy of a Killing’ about the murder of two women and two children in Cameroon, you’ll love this - the inside story of that investigation, beautifully told by @EliotHiggins & featuring @Brian_Castner @ilariallegro @Yaolri @BenDoBrown
@EliotHiggins, I smiled at the line “@Sector035 is a minor legend in the OSINT community.”
Also enjoyed hearing @EmmanFre admit some degree of skepticism about @Yaolri’s “find the mountain range” strategy. Emmanuel, I also doubted Aliaume on that one :)

On my way to the @sirharrysummit to hear a stellar line up of speakers (convened by @TinaBrownLM) talk about the challenges facing investigative journalism worldwide.

The whole thing is live-streamed. Some agenda highlights in this thread 🧵 👇

The basic task of separating truth from lies has never been more urgent or more challenging.

Addressing this are @EliotHiggins @deborahturness @Amampour5 @StevenBrill Image
Anyone concerned with journalism owes a huge debt to the Palestinian journalists who, working in unimaginable conditions, have shown us what’s happening in Gaza. We are lucky to have @azaizamotaz9 @YoumnaElSayed17 @safwatkahlout with us this morning Image

Some of the most measured voices I’m hearing on here, the ones who seem most serious about ending this agony, seem to come from Israelis whose loved ones have just been murdered or abducted by Hamas.

Some examples… 🧵 ⬇️
In their pain, these people have summoned a serious, humane response that contrasts so sharply with the dogmatic, righteous, cocksure punditry that has dominated Twitter and degraded much of the political commentary
Noi Katzman whose Brother Chaim was murdered by Hamas

“The most important thing for me and also for my brother, is that his death will not be used as a justification for killing innocent people”

It’s been 2 weeks since our ‘Racism for Sale’ investigation dropped and I thought it might be worth sharing some of the fallout. ICYMI the basic story & links to the film are here…

First, a *lot* of ppl watched this film: > 2m on FB, >1.6m on Insta, >1m on YouTube in English & Chinese. Another 750k in Brazil.

This is a story about racist exploitation of kids, and it clearly resonated all over the world. @Lupita_Nyongo shared it too, which never hurts…
People in #Malawi were legitimately outraged...

In February 2015 Russian politician Boris Nemtsov — a fierce critic of Putin  — was shot dead on a bridge in the shadow of the Kremlin.

Five men were convicted for the murder, but the most urgent questions were never answered: who ordered the hit, and why?
Now, a new film from our team at BBC Eye Investigations, working with @bellingcat and @the_ins_ru, reveals that, in the year running up to the murder, Nemtsov was being shadowed by a government agent linked to a secret assassination squad…
…the same assassination squad that poisoned @navalny

It’s been an incredible week for our Open Source investigations team at #BBCAfricaEye. A short thread...

First, we saw the killers of these kids jailed in Cameroon
There’s detail on the sentencing here. The three men jailed are the same three named 2 years ago in our original report, plus their commander. Thanks to everyone who was part of this - it was a huge team effort bbc.co.uk/news/world-afr…
We also published this new investigation, which holds Nigeria’s state oil firm (the immensely powerful @NNPCgroup), to account for a devastating explosion in #Lagos that destroyed a school and killed 23 people

Opportunity for African video journalists, producers, and documentary filmmakers.

We have created a new #BBCAfricaEye training in the art & craft of documentary storytelling.

Thread…
This course is *not* about how to shoot or edit. We’re working with a lot of people who can film and cut beautifully. We also have a network of great investigators and reporters across the continent.

But documentary storytelling…that’s a harder challenge.
The training is about how to find and develop incredible stories, how to imagine them as visual narratives, and how to direct and structure those stories in the field and in the edit.
