60 years ago in 1948, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, one of mankind’s landmark documents, was created. Timed to match this anniversary and jointly made with Amnesty International, four short films tell the stories of people in the UK who, through dramatic personal experiences, are fighting to promote the Articles from the UDHR that relate to their everyday life.
