Brooke Goldstein

Brooke Goldstein founded the Children’s Rights Institute, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to track, spotlight, and legally combat violations of children’s basic human rights around the world. CRI has a special focus on state-sponsored indoctrination and the recruitment of children to become suicide-homicide bombers, child soldiers, and human shields. At 23 years old, Brooke risked her life to film an award-winning documentary film, The Making of a Martyr, securing interviews with active and armed members of the Al-Aqsa, Fatah, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas terrorist groups as well as with families of suicide bombers, children imprisoned for attempting to blow themselves up, teachers at terrorist-run schools, and others involved in the phenomenon of child suicide bombing.
