The Tackling Torture Video Contest has chosen eight finalists for its first competition. The five Serious video finalists and three Satirical finalists are posted for public viewing on this Tackling Torture Video Contest channel on YouTube. The seriousness of the topic has attracted filmmakers of all ages from around the world: Canada, Indonesia, Germany, Australia and the USA.

Please help us select the winners of the audience prize by viewing, selecting your favorites and then voting.

Four prizes will be awarded. $500 Jury Prizes will be awarded by a jury of five distinguished filmmakers, activists and historians, Sebastion Doggart, Joseph Jolton, Peter Kuznick, Alfred McCoy and Andy Worthington, in each of the two categories. $300 Audience Prizes, chosen through public voting, will also be awarded in each of the two categories. The public is welcome to vote here until January 30, 2014. Winners will be announced February 7, 2014 in an event to be scheduled in Minneapolis/St Paul, Minnesota (details TBA).

Through this contest, Tackling Torture at the Top, a committee of Women Against Military Madness (WAMM), hopes to produce entertaining and informative videos that contradict the harmful and inhumane view that torture works and is in any way justifiable, to educate the public, and to raise questions about the direction of our foreign policy and our use of the military, and by so doing, give the public the awareness and courage to rein in our country's out of control security apparatus.

it said "It's your world."

Unfortunately we, the average majority, do not get a say in "our world."
The sick sociopathic "war mongers" kept in power by the sociopathic elite...this seems to be their world and we are unwilling hostages to their world view. We CAN change that.

This world is a very sick place before and after FDR"s death.

Senator Bernie Sanders as President, would return equality and improve empathy world-wide.

He is a win-win for America and the world.
