Story of an Idea - the film

This film, combining colourful animation with recent images, brings to life the history of the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement from Henry Dunant and the Battle of Solferino through to today. The film explains the meaning of the Geneva Conventions, the universal humanitarian principles underlying the Movement's efforts and the general activities carried out by the different components, the ICRC, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and the National Societies, as they work together to help those in need. http://www.icrc.org

No vaccine, no safe treatment, no cure, no questions after 30 years ! Isn't

something awry? In House of Numbers: Anatomy of an Epidemic, an AIDS film like

no other, the HIV/AIDS story is being rewritten. This is the first film to

present the uncensored POVs of virtually all the major players; in their own

settings, in their own words. It rocks the foundation upon which all conventional

wisdom regarding ‘HIV/AIDS’ is based. /watch?v=_p-ttLfkZHQ

we cant help everyone, but we are trying to. in every life missed 10 were being rehabilitated. yes, mr. dunant is a christian, so what?others DO participate. while some adds up some more cruelty.

That was a pretty rad dude.

And of course they left out that mr. Dunant was a christian, and was inspired and moved by christianity.

In one week it'll be 5 years since Gilad Shalit was brutaly kidnapped by hamas. Just a reminder. He was never visited by the red cross as it is said in Third Geneva Convention: "...it has to be allowed for the prisoner, to be visited by the International Committee of the Red Cross...After the war a prisoner of war should be allowed to return to his country..". The war was over long ago, Gilad still rots in underground chambers. This is on your conscience.
