In Your Eyes

Musician and human rights activist Peter Gabriel is empowering people to document human rights abuses in their own backyards and bring them to the world's attention. His organization, Witness, is based in Brooklyn, but has electronic eyes all over the world, acting under the motto "see it, film it, change it." Gabriel opens up to David Brancaccio about his horror at abuses as far away as Burma and as close as California, and how his efforts have led to real change.

"I think it appalls you at first when you start seeing what people actually do in the world. But I find some of the people you meet, that are fighting the abuses, extraordinary," says Gabriel.
