Amnesty is all about ordinary people standing up for Human Rights.In order to demonstrate how everyone has the power to make a difference in the world, the idea for the film was to show a range of ordinary people physically preventing human rights abuse. The idea was executed by compositing these ordinary people into existing news footage, in which they prevent violence and abuse. The film was screened during the 2008 Secret Policeman’s Ball and during the television broadcast of it on Channel 4, before later going out across cinema screens.
