"As Ramadan begins, more than 100 hunger-strikers in Guantánamo Bay continue their protest. More than 40 of them are being force-fed. A leaked document sets out the military instructions, or standard operating procedure, for force-feeding detainees. In this four-minute film made by Human Rights organisation Reprieve and Bafta award-winning director Asif Kapadia, US actor and rapper Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def), experiences the procedure."
Not nice.

Love the Tube and love abandoned things so this is just fantastic. Would love to take 6 months out and go and explore every old site. There's the bigger version here - ghost stations of the London Underground.
Being very much intested in the great wars, this really appealed to me. Needless to say, it's also a great way to reach the younger generation (those pesky Facebook kids) and try to get them interested in learning about the importance and impact of the wars, history in general, and of course to get them into museums. All good things. Sounds like it worked too. Good job, DDB Paris.
