Amnesty activists and leading members of the cultural world gathered at Anish Kapoor’s London studio to make a special Gangnam Style film in support of the artist, Ai Weiwei. The film has been choreographed by Akram Khan. Those who took part included artists Mark Wallinger, Bob and Roberta Smith and Tom Phillips, dancers Tamara Rojo and Deborah Bull, Southbank Centre Director Jude Kelly and many others. Various organisations and individuals across the world have also sent in their own contributions for the film, which have been incorporated into the final edit.

I Have Your Heart is a stunning stop motion collaboration between New York illustrator Molly Crabapple, singer Kim Boekbinder and animator Jim Batt.

The film is the story of a good girl with a bad heart and the boy whose death will save her life- inspired by ‘The Organ Donor’s March’, Boekbinder’s moving song about love, loss, and open‐heart surgery.
