Historical background: 2009 is the 30th anniversary of the first in Amnesty International’s pioneering “Secret Policeman’s Ball” series of benefit shows co-created by Monty Python’s John Cleese. The 1979 show in London was a landmark in galvanizing comedians and rock musicians to use their talents and influence as entertainers to raise funds and consciousness for human rights and other social and political causes – and helped inspire 1985’s “Live Aid”. Artists who cite the series as the starting point for their social activism include Bono, Sting, Peter Gabriel and Bob Geldof. The success of the shows also inspired the US section of Amnesty to stage its historic 1980s concert tours – the 1986 “Conspiracy Of Hope” US tour and the 1988 “Human Rights Now!” World Tour. The Secret Policeman's Film Festival presents 12 films drawn from the past three decades of shows and concerts by entertainers to raise money for - and awareness of - Amnesty International.

Embracing Human Rights: Islamists Renouncing Violence | Human Rights Now - Amnesty International USA

We'd always seen Amnesty as the soft power tools of colonialism. So, when Amnesty, despite knowing that we hated them, adopted us, I felt -- maybe these democratic values aren't always hypocritical. Maybe some people take them seriously ... it was the beginning of my serious doubts.
