Learn the truth about your mobile phone – watch “Blood in the Mobile”

blood_in_the_mobile

When: Wednesday 18.05.2011, 15:00 â?? 17:00

Where: Amnesty International Aalborg, Danmarksgade 7, Aalborg

Amnesty International Aalborg invites all to watch a new documentary “Blood in the Mobile” by Frank Poulsen (se the trailer here). The film tells a story of the filmmaker’s journey to discover the truth about his mobile phone. It shows many shocking examples of child labour and war economy in Congo, where the metal used in mobile phones is mined.

The African continent is known for its rich mineral resources. In Congo you can find, among others, a mineral used in production of our mobile phones. The country is plagued by civil war, which during the last 15 yeas has claimed over 5 million human lives.

The film starts at 15:00 and lasts about 120 minuter. Afterwards we would like to engage you in a short discussion about the situation in Congo and talk more about thedark side of our consumer society.

Entry is of course free of charge.

We hope to see you next Wednesday!

Find sandheden om din mobiltelefon – se “Blod i mobilen”

HvornÃ¥r: Onsdag d. 18.05.2011, kl. 15:00 – 17:00

Hvor: Amnesty International Aalborg, Danmarksgade 7, Aalborg

Amnesty International Aalborg inviterer alle til en ny dokumentarfilm “Blod i mobilen” (se trailer her). Filmen handler om en filmskabers rejse for at finde sandheden om sin mobiltelefon. Den viser flere rystende eksempler pÃ¥ børnearbejde og krigsøkonomi i DR Congo hvor metal til mobiltelefonerne bliver udvundet.

Det afrikanske kontinent er kendt for sin rigdom på mineraler. I Congo findes bl.a. et mineral, som bruges i produktionen af vores mobiltelefoner. Landet plages af en borgerkrig, som allerede har kostet mere end 5 millioner mennesker livet.

Filmen starter kl. 15:00 og bagefter, ca kl 16:30 skal vi have en diskussion omkring situationen i Congo og snakke lidt om en skyggeside af vores forbrugersamfund.

Adgang er selvfølgelig gratis.

Vi håber at se jer næste onsdag!

Se filmen “Vejen til Guantanamo”

Amnesty International Aalborg inviterer alle til film”VEJEN TIL GUANTANAMO”, der er en prisbelønnet engelsk dramadokumentar fra 2006. Efter filmen er der en lille workshop om tortur.

Hvornår: Onsdag, d. 20 april

Hvor: Amnesty International Aalborg, Danmarksgade 7 Aalborg

Gratis adgang

Om filmen:

Da 19-årige Asif skal giftes i Pakistan, rejser vennerne Ruhel, Shafiq og Monir med ham fra England for at deltage i brylluppet. Undervejs får de mulighed for at tage til Afghanistan og lave velgørenhedsarbejde, og de fire eventyrlystne drenge slår til. Men alt går galt.

Det bliver starten pÃ¥ et mareridt, der fører dem hele vejen til Guantánamo-basen, hvor de udsættes for tortur og sidder fængslet i mere end to Ã¥r. Michael Winterbottoms og Mat Whitecross’ rystende dramadokumentar modtog Sølvbjørnen for bedste instruktion ved Berlins filmfestival.

KL. CA. 16.30 – 17.00 ER DER EN LILLE WORKSHOP OM TORTUR

I denne workshop kan man mærke overgreb pÃ¥ egen krop via “Tortur PÃ¥ TÃ¥” metoden – naturligvis frivilligt og under helt sikre forhold.

Baggrund: Nogle former for tortur er udformet, så ofret ikke får synlige sår, blå mærker eller andre ydre, fysiske skader. Tortur På Tå er en af dem. Ofret tvinges til at stå på tå med begge arme strakt lige ud til siderne. Hvis han/hun lader armene falde ned, slår vagter på undersiden af armene, indtil han/hun løfter dem igen. Ofret presses samtidig til at blive stående på tåspidserne, ved at vagter slår på undersiden af fødderne. Ofret tinges til at holde stillingen, indtil han/hun besvimer, og i nogle tilfælde tvangsfodrets han/hun med narkotika, som forhindrer søvn. Ofre for denne og lignende typer tortur tvinges ofte til at stå op i flere dage.

Besøg AI Aalborg og se filmen “Vejen til Guantanamo” samt workshop om tortur.
