Amnesty Crowds Ignore Human Rights

Amnesty International in New Zealand challenged public apathy towards human rights in this print advertising campaign developed by Colenso BBDO. The campaign, which won a Silver Press Lion at Cannes International Advertising Festival 2010, shows crowds turning their backs on beating, execution and brutal rebels. “Ignore us. Ignore human rights”. A challenge to take seriously calls to join up with Amnesty and support street collections.
