Haya Waseem of production house Object & Animal directed this “Work/Life” PSA, part of the “Working with Cancer” campaign which just won the Cannes Lions Health and United Foundation’s Grand Prix For Good.
The spot from Publicis Groupe agency Le Truc introduces us to what workers with a cancer diagnosis are facing–including a man who is more worried about losing his job than losing his life.
