Thanks to the pioneering internet streaming company Opus Media plc, the new Vanessa Redgrave movie Russia/Chechnya: Voices of Dissent will be accessible to millions of viewers worldwide in full screen digital quality - over the public internet.

Ahead of the media giants, Opus are using a video-streaming technology that delivers a high resolution full screen viewing experience on demand, with no buffering or frame freeze to any broadband connection in the world.

With video streamed rather than stored, PC hard drives remain uncluttered with excessively large files. Access is immediate & the rights holders of the content are also spared the piracy issues that can potentially arise from downloading.

Launched 20th March at the House of Commons, viewers can watch Voices of Dissent, for GBP2/$3.50/EUR3. Proceeds will go to Amnesty International, with Opus involved on a strictly 'not for profit' basis. The film can be seen on www.voicesofdissent.com.

The new documentary provides an overview of today's desperate human rights situation in Chechnya and Russia. It is produced by Vanessa Redgrave and directed by Carlo Nero, and was first screened earlier this month at the 8th Amnesty International Film Festival and at the Geneva Films for Human Rights Festival.

Opus Chief Executive Nigel Regan said: "Broadband TV is the ideal medium for delivering important and bold films such as Voices of Dissent and we have thoroughly enjoyed working with Vanessa and her team to help Amnesty International deliver the project. I am pleased to have the opportunity to demonstrate our pioneering technology platform. It is also another key step forward for Opus Media as we continue broadening our business beyond our initial involvement in Bollywood.tv, childrens' programming and pop music."

London-based Opus Media was established late last year to distribute a variety of broadband internet TV channels including Bollywood.tv (www.bollywood.tv) , skidz.tv (www.skidz.tv) and noise.tv (www.noise.tv).
