Sometimes, in an attempt to gain sympathy for a cause, images of death and deprivation are shown. Green Day did a cover of John Lennon's "Working Class Hero" for an album as a part of Amnesty International's campaign to save Dafur.

What's different about this video is it's chillingly stark nature, filmed in black and white. It doesn't show images of Dafur, but shows clips of survivors talking about what they survived. Just looking at people saying "My father was killed in front of me" with a dead, accepting look just... it killed me. I started crying, which I don't do often. Here's the link.
