Hi.

 

I stumbled upon a clip from a campaign against drunken parents on reddit today that tries to convey the message by taking on the children's perspective.

 

Here's the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i46h9dAaDfo and here's the link to the discussion(although it's not very heated at the moment that I'm writing this): http://www.reddit.com/r/videos/comments/2jvj6n/finnish_commercial_against_drinking_parents/. Here's an older clip from that campaign: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwdUXS94yNk.

 

I remember that I've seen the "Monsters" clip before, and I think I appreciated it but can't exactly recall whether it has had the same effect on me then that it, and the new one had this time. Now, after I've had the problem of parents' violence against children explicitly stated to me by the FDR podcasts and videos, they both seem much more meaningful and touch me deeper.

I think that this kind of approach could have the quality of an eyeopener but also, and maybe more importantly could be attractive enough to reach wide audiences if used in a format as popular as a tv series of some kind. I'm mentioning this because I remembered that in the video in which Stefan interviewed the creator of the http://acestudy.org/ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRaNwIdrKuc&list=PLB3F2CF45EEB95C80) Dr. Felitti said that he felt that the way to go would be to find some good screenwriters for that exact purpose.

 

What do you think?
