Derek Cianfrance of RadicalMedia directed two narrative films for the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism out of agency Wunderman Thompson.
Part of the #StandUpToJewishHate” campaign is this piece entitled “Tony” in which a mother is getting ready to drive her young daughter to school when they find an antisemtic message scrawled across their garage door. A neighbor in the next driveway over sees their reaction and then what they are reacting to.
When mom and daughter return later in the day, their garage door has been freshly painted, leaving no trace of the hateful message. The mom sees that her neighbor Tony’s shoes have splotches of paint on them–and she mouths a heartfelt thank you to him.

This trailer promotes Charge Around The Globe, a new adventure docuseries that follows record-breaking traveler Lexie Limitless on an extraordinary journey to circumnavigate the globe in an electric vehicle--traveling over 30,000 kilometers across six continents, all in pursuit of one world record. The three-part series on Prime Video in the U.K. showcases the capabilities of modern electric vehicles while immersing viewers in the numerous experiences and challenges Lexie encounters throughout her journey. As she navigates various challenges throughout her trip, Charge Around the Globe serves as a testament to the spirit of exploration. Ford, Wieden+Kennedy London and WracK teamed on the series.
The documentary aims to address the primary concern hindering many consumers from transitioning to electric: doubts about the range and capability of electric vehicles.

Along the way, she meets extraordinary people, navigates difficult terrains, and faces the challenges of a constantly evolving charging infrastructure that puts her to the test.
“Charge Around The Globe has been the ultimate test drive for our new electric Ford Explorer. We took on every kind of weather and road condition and dealt with just about every charging scenario. The journey embodies the true... Read More
