Video lets the community speak in its own voice, at its own pace, to audiences that may never attend a workshop. This section collects the visual and recorded material produced by and with the Rainbow Pride Foundation: recorded sessions, community messages, campaign material and documentation of programme activity.
Why video matters here
Written reports reach funders and institutions; video reaches people. A short piece in which a community member explains, in their own words, what has changed for them can do more than several pages of analysis. It also travels through exactly the channels that information in Fiji actually moves along: shared among friends, family and community networks.
What you will find
The material in this section falls into a few broad groups. Recorded sessions and learning events capture programme content for people who could not attend. Community messages are short pieces intended to be shared. Campaign material supports specific awareness efforts. Documentation pieces record what a programme looked like in practice.
Producing responsibly
Video involves people's faces and voices, so consent is not a formality. Everyone who appears in a recording is asked for permission, told where the material will be used, and given the option to withdraw. Where identification could place someone at risk, material is shot and edited to protect them: wider framing, back-of-head shots, silhouettes or no image at all.
- Consent is obtained before recording, not after.
- Participants are told how the material will be used and for how long.
- Anyone can ask for a recording to be withdrawn.
- Editing never changes what a person meant.
How to watch and use the material
The table below explains how different audiences typically use this section, and what to keep in mind.

| Educators and youth workers | Use as a discussion starter | Provide context before and after viewing |
| Service providers | Training and awareness sessions | Pair with the Recommendations resource |
| Media | Request permission before rebroadcast | Confirm consent for identifiable people |
| Partners and funders | Programme documentation | Check current details with the team |
Requesting a recording or a filming session
Organisations that would like material for a training session, or that would like the foundation to record an event, are welcome to get in touch. Because recording capacity and programme schedules change, please confirm availability and any consent requirements directly with the team. Where the foundation cannot film an event itself, we are usually happy to advise on how to do it in a way that protects participants.
