The Sound of Hope - Voices of Humanity
Agencies: Ogilvy SocialLab • VML Copenhagen • WPP Production
Description
The Sound of Hope documentary, a continuation of the Voices of Humanity campaign that uncovers how voices lost to trauma find their way back with unwavering assistance from EU’s humanitarian aid workers on the ground.This time, we document the realities of human-made and natural disasters in Syria, Haiti, and Burundi from the perspective of those who put their lives on the line to assist others, while also showing the hope humanitarian aid promises those in need.The idea for this year’s campaign and documentary came from a discussion about the sound of devastation, which made us curious about what hope sounds like in times and places of conflict. We are in awe of the dedication, bravery, and heart that we witnessed working on this project and are happy to finally share it with you.This work for the European Commission came to life with an emotionally-led creative idea made possible through a strong collaboration with WPP Production VML Copenhagen and our partners at 27km, Ogilvy Social.Lab Belgium, and Verian Group.
