The goals behind the “Answer Their Call” campaign–created by Droga5 NY for the Reform Alliance–are to generate empathy toward the 2.3 million people who are incarcerated and make the public aware that COVID-19 is threatening to turn a prison sentence into a death sentence for the entire prison population. The Reform Alliance is also encouraging viewers to add their names to a petition urging public officials to take action.
A key component of the campaign is this emotional film titled “When It’s All Over.” The PSA plays on a truth we all share; that as a society we are all dreaming of the simple things, small and big, that we look forward to doing as soon as life gets back to normal after the pandemic–however in this film the stakes are higher as the dreams are those of people behind bars, who may not realize them, due to the threat to their lives that the virus carries. The film is also built from the real phone calls as inmates share their dreams and fears. The feelings and sentiments in these calls are featured throughout the campaign.
