Nice and Serious in London: “The Association for the Prevention of Torture commissioned us to create an animation to explain that safeguards in the first hours of police custody can prevent torture and convince States of the need for a universal protocol based on non-coercive interviews.”

“The film transitions between two scenarios; one in which coercive interrogation methods are used, and another where the appropriate safeguards have been implemented.

“A dramatic use of light and symbolic imagery helps to tell an emotive story without showing any scenes of torture.”
