Shoot the People: Misan Harriman on protest, photography and change

Releasing this week, 'Shoot The People' documents renowned photographer Misan Harriman’s journey capturing global protest movements, from Black Lives Matter to grassroots campaigns fighting for equality, civil rights and social justice.

Through his lens, the documentary, directed by BAFTA- and RTS-winning filmmaker Andy Mundy-Castle, explores the resilience of activists around the world, combining personal testimonies, historical context and the rise of digital activism to reveal how images can preserve moments of resistance, amplify marginalised voices and drive social change.

In an interview with Hanna Flint for The New Arab, Misan Harriman speaks about 'Shoot The People,' exploring how photography has become a tool for protest, truth, and social change, and how images can help shape the fight for a more just world.
