4. The Cure en Paraguay – promociona una campaña de Amnistía Internacional en su gira por Sudamérica (The Cure in Paraguay promotes an Amnesty International Campaign in their South American tour)
This video shows the popular band “The Cure” promoting the My Body My Rights campaign in Paraguay. In a concert which was attended by many Amnesty activists, they asked the public to stand up with them to support the campaign. We gave this video extra points because we believe that when world-renowned pop stars stand up for human rights this can be incredibly inspirational for people all around the world. Go The Cure! It was made by Amnesty International Paraguay in 2013.

This beautiful documentary on child soldiers from the Kivu conflict in the Democratic Republic of Congo raises important questions concerning what comes next for these child soldiers, by showing the life of a local organisation that gives these children a second chance at having a decent life. It was made in 2011 with the support of Amnesty International.
2. I talk out loud
This video shares the story of an Amnesty Youth Group at Eastlea School in east London and their campaign to end stoning in Iran. The Eastlea School students talk about their experience during this campaign, which included a protest in front of the Iranian embassy in London, in this inspiring demonstration of young people standing up for human rights.

1. When you don’t exist
‘When you don’t exist’ is a two-minute video, showing an ‘alternative reality’ where Europeans are the ones undertaking a dangerous journey to reach Africa, only to be detained at immigration centres and be refused entrance at the border. It uses powerful imagery to challenge our perspective on the human reality of experiences of migration, and make us more aware of the situation that many migrants and refugees face when trying to reach European borders. It was made by Amnesty International in 2012.

Die Allgemeine Erklärung der Menschenrechte vom 10. Dezember 1948 definiert Rechte, die allen Menschen von Geburt an uneingeschränkt zustehen. Mit dem "Internationalen Tag der Menschenrechte" erinnern die Vereinten Nationen daran, dass diese Rechte weltweit immer wieder verletzt werden – Menschenrechtlern zufolge hat sich die Situation in den vergangenen Jahren verschlechtert.
