DIGITAL STORYTELLERS UNITE

> Amnesty International is using satellite images to tell the story of the crisis in Darfur. They've created the Eyes on Darfur web site to document atrocities in areas that watchdogs don't have access to, bringing the story out into the open to catalyze action.

EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED TO KNOW ABOUT BOSTON
