Have You Got That Right? Fun, Fast Human Rights Explainers

Have You Got That Right? is an innovative series of videos answering important human rights questions quickly, clearly and in a way that won’t put you to sleep. The project will be broken into a number of 10-episode series, each with a different theme. Series one blends comedy with serious academic content, while series two will be interview-based. We started out planning to make simple videos of our academics answering human rights questions. However, more and more people offered to bring their expertise on board to help us pro bono, and the series grew from there. By the end of series one, we will have benefited from thousands of hours of pro bono work from industry professionals as well as our team of writers, crew members and actors. You can read about our key people below.
