Yeah there is a very thin line between normal everyday life and chaos...dont forget that
BjoernTheBear
Strapline was "just because it isn't happening here does not mean its not happening."

she seems like a good actor

This kinda looks like Dafne Keen, no? She was in the movie Logan and was super good! https://www.imdb.com/name/nm6748436/

not really, no.

Breaks my heart every time I see this. This is life for millions of children

Why would you cut off the charity ffs?

I was thinking about this ad the other day. Huh.

Oddly enough me too. Been a few years since i saw it.

This was an ad to show what happens to families, especially children during wars and their after effects on them u.u

They made a sequel to this recently, didn't they

Save The Children advert from a few years ago. Taught on some UK media studies courses now, I believe (I'm a tutor)
Kokokokko
Why was her hair falling off?
treknor
malnutrition, stress, infections, parasites ..most times a combination of all. kids like that have only a slight chance to stay alive.

I think that is one of the symptoms of very high stress levels

I thought it would change to a middle Eastern kid to help people in the western world make a type of connection
ThisNameIsNotAboutYou
I thought part of the advert was cut off and the original skipped to the same kid in a hijab, unless I'm thinking of a similar different ad
ryderr9
lol no, that would have the opposite effect
Trielumphant
Lots of Syrian kids look just like this
fraxinusoleaceae
That fact that you were waiting for that suggests maybe it did make that connection.
DukeofKMS
Would the downvoters care to elaborate their choice?
pandasmakemehappy
Deep down they know that they're the badies so they don't like this ad.
NaughtButOne
It's emotional manipulation meant to illicit sympathy.
TheUnstoppableWampas
Ok, but why does that make it bad? Why does that merit a downvote?
mrmayortheiv
Heaven forbid we feel sympathetic to the millions of human beings that our society is actively killing or turning into refugees.
mrmayortheiv
And how dare people remind us of the actual consequences of the things we do in hopes of getting us to stop doing evil things.
Youhavinagiraffe
"It made my sympathise with other people's suffering therefore it's bad"...
NaughtButOne
It didn't make me sympathize with anyone. I don't appreciate the attempt, for the same reason I don't like laugh tracks or clickbait.
EternalSunshineofthePotlessMind
Not to psychologically diagnose someone over a 140 character message but that sounds like psychopathy.
NaughtButOne
Nah, one's a condition, one's a choice. Recognize the attempt to sway your emotion, and deny it.
DukeofKMS
So are cat vids.
NaughtButOne
Some of them, absolutely.
DukeofKMS
You feel, sympathy with people displaced by war is inadequate?
NaughtButOne
Not sure what you're asking. I don't appreciate any media trying to influence my emotions.

#savechildrefugees is nice and all, but shouldn't the message just be #saverefugees?

Hard to watch, but having seen a father and son gunned down in the crossfire between Palestinians and Israelis, I think it's needed.
CidColetti
Good find.

Brutal and effective.

Thank you! That helped. I wish we had this advert in the US.

Oh my god.. that moment on the beach... the little boy behind her in the red jacket.. it took me right back to when that hit the news. 1/2

2graves
I'm guessing they gave them British accents to be relatable?
dspillett
Yes. It was set in England as already pointed out. Extra confirmation: UK details in the background like the Angle Of The North sculpture.
EirikurDC
It’s set in England. It’s a look at how it would be if England was in a nightmarish war on home turf. “Just cause it’s not happening here,”
AnythingMuchShorter
It's effective, but sad how many people could sympathize with this but still wouldn't care at all if it's people of a different culture.
Heljaeger
Another's misfortune is not your responsibility. Help if you want, but it is not your burden.
SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE
You're not acting like the person Mr. Rogers knew you could be.
Tentrees
exactly. We're culturally programmed to be more sympathetic to people who look and sound like us and do things we do.
DizzleRizzle
*evolutionary. Ppl who look act and talk like are probably part of tribe and safer. Natural to care more for a neighbour than a stranger

That's what is happening in that scene: the kid was mad at her mom because she forgot to assist to her Mother's Day festival.

Ok. Need some context with this.

Really need context?
Gaktar
Umm. Yeah. Thought it was an amazing video and wanted to know what it was from. Didn't know if it was a movie or commercial or what.
softbutslaps
It was a PSA from England about Syrian Refugee Crisis, tagline was "just because it's not happening here, doesn't mean it's not happening."

Save the Children ad for refugees from 2014.

An ad raising awareness for the refugee crisis in Syria. Basically Calli g everyone out for "If this was in London instead of Aleppo-" 1/2
mal5341
"-the world would be up in arms" 2/2
JoshuaFalken
"What's Aleppo?"

Too soon dawg.

I still cringe when I remember this moment. I was driving, listening to the convo on the radio and nearly drove off the road in shock!
Counterfit

Man this was 2014. Called the most shocking second it’s also called “if London were Syria.”

mrmayortheiv
Have you seen pictures of Syria? We have no basis for understanding how much we FUCKED OVER the Syrian people. Your comment is disgusting.

or afhanistan, irak, jemen, Sudan, Ukrainia or any other country USA or russia invaded the last years.

This is why I'm Libertarian. I can't stand all of the needless wars and country Invasions.
EirikurDC
It’s so great when people forget that about us libertarians whenever we criticize anything Socialists are doing
HappyTheWingedCat
It isn't the socialists you should be mad at for the wars.
BleachItsWhatsForDinner
It's okay to both dislike wars AND not like socialism either. They aren't mutually exclusive.
EirikurDC
I didn’t in my comment. I am not sure how you got that
Ryzanify
Why they speaking English
zxwaffen
So people identify with them more, rather than it being someone from somewhere else and more easily able to dismiss it.
Ryzanify
Idno about u but I’d still get the point if they were speaking any other language
mrmayortheiv
When it's a middle Eastern person most westerners have a tendency to disregard their suffering. But portray them as a "real" human being?
mrmayortheiv
Now maybe the people watching it can hopefully realize that these wars have real costs.
