one thing you can do to improve the watching experience is to pause it at the beginning and let the white status bar on the video get to half way before pressing play. this will make sure you have buffered plenty of video and reduce the chances of that annoying wheel showing up in the middle of the film.

I agree with Doc Richard in initiating The Global Index of Human Rights.
It is proposed that in order for the UN to move from a reactive to a proactive stance in human rights, an authoritative and objective reports of countries’ HR records should be analysed and codified into numerical data and published as a ranked table on an annual basis by the UN.
The effect will be that all interested citizens and governments can tell at a glance the relative standing of a country in which they are interested.

However, I feel there is an immediate need to also establish a Global Indicator of economically powerful nations' greed [as opposed to need] in purveying and perpetrating perpetual pernicious poverty preventing the poor from public and electoral participation.

If this outright insidious evil is addressed as a primary global evil - then in accordance with the hierarchy of needs one would be able to effectively address the secondary HR abuses too. Watch: http://www.brasschecktv.com:80/page/493.html

It's a simple message and well put, and it's why I'm a member of Amnesty, because I know that human beings working individually or together can bring about change for the better - let's not despair, but continue to demand stronger human rights for all

Great video. Sadly, Amnesty continues to restrict itself to working reactively on a case-by-case basis, and will not involve itself in changing the framework of statehood at UN level, by installing a Global Human Rights Index http://www.greenparty.org.uk/assets/files/repor....

In this way they are behaving like the policeman who is so busy pulling bodies out of the river that he has not time to ask someone to go upstream and find out who is pushing them in.

To call for such an Index, which would make transparent the HR record of all governments at a glance, would cost AI nothing, and shift AI and the UN to a proactive, rather than a reactive, stance on HR.

I have used this video with all my KS3 classes this week and will be using it with KS4 as well as having recommended it to other members of my department. Though I have now watched it at least ten times, it is still an affecting, hairs on the back of the neck video. A wonderful piece

A good video that gets the message across albeit on the short side. It really is tragic that in this day and age we still have such suffering throughout the world.

With Chtistmas almost upon us, I felt the video was rather poignant!

We must continue to try to persuade the leaders of democracy that such outrages are unacceptable and they must do much more to alleviate the problem as a matter of priority.

"As nightfall does not come at once, neither does oppression.
In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains
seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all
must be most aware of change in the air - however slight -
lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness."

Hi kmf - have you tried embedding the video anywhere else? As far as I know, Facebook doesn't actually allow direct video embedding on their pages, so it's likely that's the problem.
