I'm sitting in a hotel room in Menlo Park, California, swimming in a pool of creative content - and you should definitely dip a toe in the water... Rik Panganiban, a good friend of WITNESS, has posted a fascinating list of machinima with a social purpose here:

"I view machinima (digital films created using a game engine or virtual world) as a powerful and accessible medium for storytelling and artistic expression. And despite its game-based roots, I think there is ample evidence that machinima can be used to engage people on serious issues and ideas -- whether its the upcoming US Presidential election or climate change."

Just so you know, we welcome machinima for human rights on the Hub - just tag it so we can find it!
