Social Advertising

Burma Campaign UK launched a video and poster campaign about the never ending disaster in Burma – the military dictatorship. The new animated film tells the story of a little girl called Khin Mar, who survived Cyclone Nargis but whose village is later destroyed by the military dictatorship.

“If the Burmese regime cared about its people they wouldn’t leave storm victims to die, shoot at peaceful protestors and rape 5 year old girls, like Khin Mar. We are launching this campaign because the world must realize that the real disaster in Burma is the regime. The last 9 months have shown the world that the regime will stop at nothing to stay in power”, said Johnny Chatterton, Campaigns Officer for Burma Campaign UK.

Unfortunately, this is one of too many examples of human beings suffering from others’ need of power, greed, stupidity, neglect and indifference.

This new social ad, called ‘The Real Disaster’, was created by Ogilvy Advertising and is narrated by famous comedian Ricky Gervais.
