Don’t Panic is out with a powerful Save the Children PSA which calls attention to the crisis in Syria by examining what would happen to a girl in London — one second at a time — if the crisis came to the UK.

The 90 second video, which begins with the girl’s birthday and ends with her next, starts out lovingly enough with shots of warm family life. It then shares the tragic changes to the girl’s life were the crisis occurring in her own back yard.

The video ends with “Just because it isn’t happening here doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.”

The work coincides with the lead up to the third anniversary of the crisis
