Act now. Become an unsubscriberWatch the first unsubscribe film
Amnesty International launched the unsubscribe campaign in November 2007 with this truly powerful film entitled Waiting for the Guards.
This film shows a performance artist undergoing, for real, interrogation techniques permitted in the CIA handbook.
Warning: Some viewers may find this disturbing. Unsuitable for under 14s.

Waiting For The Guards is the first of 3 films commissioned by Amnesty to highlight the enhanced interrogation techniques used by the CIA in the “War on Terror”.
The Directors approached the making of the film in a way that has never been done before, choosing to show the reality of Stress Positions in as authentic a way as possible. They filmed a person who was put in Stress Positions for over a 6 hour period. There is no acting on the part of the “prisoner” – his pain and anguish are real.
This powerful film shows without a doubt that what the US administrations say is interrogation is really torture, and must be stopped.
We believe that this film is a great introduction to what the unsubscribe movement is all about, so we ask you to get the film out there in any way you can.
The more people that see it, the more people will be compelled to unsubscribe.
