Quotes:

[from trailer]::General Aladeen: Is there any way you could lend me some money? Maybe... 20 million dollars?

General Aladeen: Why are you guys so anti-dictators? Imagine if America was a dictatorship. You could let 1% of the people have all the nation's wealth. You could help your rich friends get richer by cutting their taxes. And bailing them out when they gamble and lose. You could ignore the needs of the poor for health care and education. Your media would appear free, but would secretly be controlled by one person and his family. You could wiretap phones. You could torture foreign prisoners. You could have rigged elections. You could lie about why you go to war. You could fill your prisons with one particular racial group, and no one would complain. You could use the media to scare the people into supporting policies that are against their interests.

Doctor: [Aladeen rewrote the language so his name means both "positive" and "negative"] Do you want the Aladeen news or the Aladeen news?::Patient: The Aladeen news?::Doctor: You're HIV-Aladeen.

General Aladeen: [to his pregnant wife] Are you having a boy or an abortion?

Pregnant Woman: You two make a cute couple. But could you do this later? When you're not *elbow deep in my PUSSY!*

Nadal: I am a mac genius.::General Aladeen: So what do you do?::Nadal: Mostly I clean semen out of laptops.

General Aladeen: Oh it's a girl. I'm so sorry. Where's the trashcan?

General Aladeen: Sub Saharan, can you have 150 child warriors here by 5:00pm?

Nadal: When the thought of someones decapitated head upsets you, that is love.

General Aladeen: You seem educated.::Zoey: Yes, I went to Amherst.::General Aladeen: I love it when women go to school. It's like seeing a monkey on rollerskates. It means nothing to them, but it's so adorable for us.

Amnesty! When They Are All Free (2011)

Actors: Nick Fraser (producer), Tom Stoppard (actor), Roger Graef (producer), James Rogan (producer), James Rogan (director), Brett Irwin (editor), Tom Cross (miscellaneous crew), Jack Straw (actor), Will Francome (miscellaneous crew), Salil Shetty (actor), Hania Mufti (actor), Chiara Liguori (actor), Stephen Hopgood (actor), Said Haddadi (actor), Patricia Feeney (actor),

Plot: On the 28th May, 1961, a British lawyer named Peter Benenson wrote and published an article that began: "Open your newspaper any day of the week and you will find a report from somewhere in the world of someone being imprisoned, tortured or executed because his opinions or religion are unacceptable to his government...." Amnesty International was born. 50 years later, Amnesty International is now the world's largest human rights organization with dozens of offices and millions of members. But it began very simply with small groups of passionate and dedicated citizens writing to dictators around the globe demanding justice and the release of political prisoners. In one instance, a particularly determined Amnesty member called the Kremlin and asked to be put through to Nikita Khrushchev, and remarkably enough, they were. As Amnesty grew, launching global campaigns against torture, sexual violence and poverty, the complexities of maintaining a non-ideological stance in an increasingly politicized world threatened to sunder the very heart of the organization. Filmed with unprecedented access to Amnesty, the camera follows the new Secretary General, Salil Shetty, as he struggles with the changing reality of human rights around the world, from China's political prisoners to Rwandan genocide to Egypt's post-election revolution. Archival footage of Amnesty's greatest triumphs and worst defeats features a broad array of political leaders, activists and celebrities, including co-founder Sir Louis Blom Cooper, Sting, the cast of Monty Python, Bruce Springsteen, and Jack Straw, the former British Home Secretary who released General Pinochet. Amnesty International may have indeed changed the world, but the world has also changed Amnesty International.

Plot: Anytime, anywhere. In a fictional world security meeting seven heads of state and government consult about a violation against Resolution 4114. One of the allied republics is disregarding the order for disarmament. The atmosphere is tense, faces are solemn. It is at this round table that the decision for war or peace will be made. And yet: business as usual for the presidents present. But suddenly the speaker (the head of state on the floor) flies off the handle. He threatens to bring to justice one of the presidents there and then. All of a sudden masks are dropped at the conference table. Each one is at the same time aggressor and victim. "Doom's Day" is only a bat of an eyelid away. Nothing short of a miracle will save the world from unavoidable bloodshed.

Plot: Escalating events begin when U.N. interpreter Silvia Broome alleges that she has overheard a death threat against an African head of state, spoken in a rare dialect few people other than Silvia can understand. With the words "The Teacher will never leave this room alive," in an instant, Silvia's life is turned upside down as she becomes a hunted target of the killers. Placed under the protection of federal agent Tobin Keller, Silvia's world only grows more nightmarish. As Keller digs deeper into his eyewitnesses' past and her secretive world of global connections, the more suspicious he becomes that she herself might be involved in the conspiracy. With every step of the way, he finds more reasons to mistrust her. Is Sylvia a victim? A suspect? Or something else entirely? And can Tobin, coping with his own personal heartache, keep her safe? Though they must depend on one another, Silvia and Tobin couldn't be more different. Silvia's strengths are words, diplomacy and the subtleties of meaning, while Tobin is all about instinct, action and reading into the most primal human behaviors. Now, as the danger of a major assassination on U.S. soil grows and Silvia's life hangs in the balance, Silvia and Tobin play out a gripping dance of evasion and revelation that keeps them both guessing as they race to stop a terrifying international crisis before it's too late.

Quotes:

Tobin Keller: Tell me about the Interpreter.

Silvia Broome: Vengeance is a lazy form of grief.

Silvia Broome: Any leads?::Tobin Keller: Maybe one. Come on down to Mexico. [hands her a picture of a rally, her face can be seen among the crowd] Is that you? Can you tell me what somebody like you, who uses the word "diplomacy", like she's chastising me, is doing at a rebel rally?::Silvia Broome: A peace rally.::Tobin Keller: I don't want to do this again!::Silvia Broome: That's exactly what it is. What I am doing is listening.::Tobin Keller: After that, after you listen.::Silvia Broome: You're asking the wrong question.::Tobin Keller: I'm asking you the question you don't want to answer.::Silvia Broome: Why would somebody take a picture and type the names of everyone in it on the back. This is a death list. The question you should be asking is "who gave me this?" and "why?"

Silvia Broome: Listen, I'm scared, and my protector is some one who doesn't believe me.::Tobin Keller: You don't look scared...::Silvia Broome: People handle fear in different ways, Mr. Keller. It turns some people into stand up comedians. You don't know me at all. Maybe I should talk to someone else about assigning someone to look after me who's better suited to the job.::Tobin Keller: My job is not to look after you, it's to look after the man who's been threatened, if there was a threat. My job, as it concerns you, is to investigate you.::Silvia Broome: So you're not here to offer me any protection whatsoever?::Tobin Keller: No, Ma'am.::Silvia Broome: [handing him back his card] And we were getting along so well.

Silvia Broome: Do you think I'm making it up? Why would I report a threat I didn't hear?::Tobin Keller: People do.::Silvia Broome: I don't.::Tobin Keller: Some people like attention.::Silvia Broome: I don't!::Tobin Keller: Maybe you don't want Zuwanie at the U.N.::Silvia Broome: I didn't make it up.::Tobin Keller: How do you feel about him?::Silvia Broome: I don't care for him.::Tobin Keller: Wouldn't mind if he were dead?::Silvia Broome: I wouldn't mind if he were gone.::Tobin Keller: Same thing.::Silvia Broome: No, it isn't. If I interpreted gone as dead I'd be out of a job, if dead and gone were the same thing there'd be no UN.::Tobin Keller: Your profession is playing with words Ms. Broome.::Silvia Broome: I don't play with words.::Tobin Keller: You're doing it right now.::Silvia Broome: No, you are. If I wanted him dead, I wouldn't have reported it. I would sit back and let it happen. That's not what I want, that's not why I'm here.

Tobin Keller: You think that not getting caught in a lie is the same thing as telling the truth.

Woman on Bus: [calling after Gamba after he leaves the bomb on the bus] Hey! Guy forgot his lunch.::Doug: [the bus explodes] Oh, man.

Silvia Broome: What do you do when you can't sleep?::Tobin Keller: I stay awake

Dot Woods: [working security during a lap dance in a strip club] Ma'am, ma'am, excuse me, please don't touch the Prime Minister. I need you to step back, please.

Tobin Keller: I'd rather make the mistake of believing her, than the bigger one of not.
