Part of the National Safety Council’s “Stop Everyday Killers” campaign out of Energy BBDO in Chicago, this piece titled “Avi's Story” shows a father, Avi, remembering Michael, his son who died of an opioid overdose.

As part of this remembrance, we see a human face representing Michael carved into a pill. This pill is placed with other “face pills” on a “Prescribed to Death” memorial paying tribute to the victims of the Opioid crisis. The wall consists of 22,000 such pills–the number of people who die in the U.S. each year due to a prescription opiod overdose.

Tucker Walsh of m ss ng p eces directed “Avi's Story.
