Reporters Without Borders ad is a visceral experience.

Created by BETC Paris and produced through Birth, the film’s job is to demonstrate how journalists all over the world defend minorities, protect the environment and denounce police violence and corruption. It shows four examples of situations only journalists can shed light on: a prisoner held in conditions unworthy of human dignity, exhausted migrants, a young woman forced into an unwanted marriage, and rows of bodies of Covid-19 victims lined up on an ice rink. The victims of these harrowing scenes gradually disappear, leaving an empty shot.
