PRESSROOM

11.08.2008 Human Rights or Human Games?

Internet social action prepared by Media Ambassador aims to turn public attention to politicization of the Olympic Games, with special attention to neglect of human rights violations.

This interactive trip through the most controversial Olympic Games in modern history shows the broader context of the disputes, involving various economical interests and political factions. Using analogies between sport disciplines and dramatic moments of history, we show how fragile the border is between the noble ideals of fraternity and the reality of brutal repression and violence against the weak.

The web site was made almost entirely in Flash with stark but expressive graphics, eerie background music, and a clear message. It is designed to be a voice in the discussion about the future of the Olympics, and also an opinion-forming place which encourages people to think.

We do not caution; we do not have the "One True" solution - we just want to remind that violating Human Rights is not just another sport.
