Sara Dunlop of Rattling Stick directed this spot which takes us back in time to a town square to witness “true believers” as they voiced their vision for the future–from the Wright Brothers who dreamed man could fly, to the suffragettes who campaigned for equality and women’s right to vote, to an astronaut who said man would one day walk on the moon.
Each person spoke of his or her progressive vision through an old fashioned, oversized megaphone-like device on a stage in the heart of the town square. A narrator points out that “ideas too bold to fathom can’t become real wihtout at least one true believer.”
Fast forward to today and a boy steps up on stage to say that he “believes in Zero: zero starving children, zero children without school, zero children dying when they don’t have to.”
“Believe in Zero” is the branding slogan for the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. This :60 concludes by asking those who believe in zero to do their part, starting by logging onto unicefusa.org.
