Amnesty International France used the release in France of the movie “Renditions” (by Gavin Hood) to do the promotion of Amnesty’s declaration to end illegal detention.

AI France organised a premiere in Paris, in a movie theatre located on Les Champs Elysées in early January, a debate took place after the movie.

Tens of Amnesty’s local group organised similar events throughout France the weeks following the movie’s release. Some organised public events, using orange jumpsuits to make the link with Guantanamo’s anniversary.

A website dedicated to the movie is also featuring Amnesty’s concerns in relation with renditions and secret detention :
