Amnesty to launch "shocking" movie trailer on torture practice

London - A hard-hitting, glossy trailer condemning the practice of 'waterboarding' as a means of torture is to be launched in British cinemas next month, Amnesty International confirmed Wednesday. Amnesty's film, called 'Stuff Of Life', will be shown in some 50 cinemas in Britain from May 9. Its 'shock value' is enhanced, according to Amnesty, by the fact that the film is effectively 'disguised' as a bottled water or vodka advert, and presented in the 'glossy' style known from consumer goods advertising. 'Our film shows you what the CIA doesn't want you to see - the disgusting reality of half-drowning a person then calling it 'enhanced interrogation',' Amnesty director Kate Allen said. 'Everyone who sees this terrifying film ought to take action to stop it happening in the real world.'
