The Al Jazeera English show The Listening Post has just rolled a brilliant animation over its closing credits.  Put together by 4 students at the Vancouver Film School, it’s called “Iran: A Nation of Bloggers”, and it’s got pace, energy and style (not unlike Avaaz’s “Clash of Civilisations” piece from last year), as well as weaving in a range of topics quite neatly, in 100 seconds (not including the credits…):

Any other great examples of human rights-focused animations out there? Post them in the comments!
