"Human Rights in Focus" includes three short films about human rights. A copy of this DVD, developed by Amnesty International in the UK in 2007, has been sent to the Teacher Librarian in every secondary school in Australia. You can download the accompanying curriculum resources and worksheets from the Amnesty International UK website.

  • Justice For Dad tells the powerful human stories behind Amnesty International's campaign to close Guantánamo Bay. Teachers can use the accompanying lessons to enable students to explore the case for and against Guantánamo, and form their own opinion.
  • Over To You: three Amnesty youth groups get creative, running campaign activities across the UK. Computer heads march through the streets of London, students wear Guantánamo jumpsuits to highlight the right to a fair trial, and trafficked people for sale in shop windows bring a town centre to a standstill. Students viewing this film can explore what it means to be an active citizen.
  • Human Rights Human Wrongs features a thought-provoking studio debate: young people discuss key human rights concepts with experienced Amnesty International campaigners.
