In times of international conflict, Human Rights Watch sends specially trained members of their E-Team (Emergencies Team) straight to the frontlines. These intrepid investigators are tasked with documenting human rights abuses that could easily go unreported and sharing their findings with the media. Fred Abrahams, Peter Bouckaert, and married couple Anna Neistat and Ole Solvang are real-life heroes, willing to put their own lives at risk in order to expose dark truths and make change. Anna and Ole smuggle themselves over the Syrian border to investigate abuses by Bashar Al-Assad, calmly conducting interviews amid gunfire and bombings. Peter uses his extensive weapons expertise to uncover the Gaddafi regime’s violations of international law in Libya, while Fred recounts testifying against Yugoslav dictator Slobodan Milošević for crimes against humanity. Balanced against the urgency of these harrowing situations are depictions of the E-Team as regular people, navigating the ordinary dramas of family life, even a pregnancy, as they continue their quest for proof.  EM
