Human rights

One of the pieces of work i'm doing at the moment is a two minute video on "the meaning of human rights" and i don't really know where to start. Lots of cliches, lots of hippy stuff - they've been degraded so heavily in the UK with the asylum thing. Are we all born equal? What would a world like that look like. Is it sooooooooo unrealistic as to be useless? Anyway, if anyone has any ideas what it means to them, I think its for $$$$$$'s so worth thinking about (cash=freedom?). Huh. xxx
