I loved it, it got to me very strong. Great music it really gave me the creeps.

Simple juxtaposition of a problem that for most of us is so far away. It brings it home and hits hard. Great!

Powerful Message and Delivery. What would you do if there was no clean water. As a parent I connected with it.

GOOSE BUMPS BIG TIME!

I am so proud to be a part of this powerful message! Spreading the message of something like this is very important. Oh I play the mom in the ad. ;-)

Great job. You should be proud to be part of this message that needs to spread through the world.

Thank you. I am the baby.

Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.

Very impressive ... and impactful!

I think you just like it for its impact....as all the ads of this kind.

Guest's picture

It seems that was exactly the purpose of this ad, to be impactful and shock the public without direspectfully showing the real kids dying of thirst and famine with flies all over them. I believe they nailed it. Shocking, memorable, emotional.

Looks like the guest is in the Credits...
Cant be so obvious.

Guest's picture

so you're in the credits?

Guest's picture

best film .... :(

Guest's picture

Too negative. People won't watch it more than once.

Try focusing on the possibilities instead. Why should you waste a minute watching an ad that makes you sad?

Try again.

Guest's picture

best ad of all time
