Beautiful Short Films from Amnesty International

Posted by Mary on 12/07/2007 at 22:21

Here are a couple of videos a friend sent me, made by Amnesty International. The first is my favorite. It is about how important a petition signature is, that signatures save lives. It's pure poetry. And even though it looks like it will be violent, it isn't, which is the whole of Amnesty International, after all.

 

The second has the same theme but doesn't have the narrative clarity of the first. Nevertheless, the last few seconds are really beautiful, so you can fast forward to the 0:41 minute mark if you're impatient.


you are
