Last month, Leo Burnett Venezuela created a powerful Amnesty International commercial which took a different approach. Rather than the usual display of human rights travesties with some sort of voiceover telling us how bad life can be for those in peril, we still see the display but, instead, it’s the one’s in peril telling us about Amnesty International’s mission of insuring human rights for all.

It’s quite effective. Especially the skin-crawling, creepy ending.
