Underwater Filming Guide

The ‘Underwater Filming Guide’ aims to provide guidance on preparing to dive, underwater photographic physics, and equipment maintenance. It is not just a technical guide, it is a political and pedagogical tool in the service of those who wish to tell stories that emerge from the depths — from the sea, rivers, bodies of water. It examines a case study of an archaeological project on the remains of the slave ship Brig Camargo, wrecked in 1852 in Brazil (when slave trafficking was already prohibited), a proof of crimes committed centuries ago against Black African people. The guide is a collaboration between the AfrOrigens Institute and WITNESS.
