In a poignant declaration of "We hear you. We see you. We believe you.," this PSA for the Me Too movement stands as a rallying cry uniting survivors and allies in the battle against sexual violence. Through compelling testimonials from individuals like Daniela Contreras, Emily Waters, Terry Crews, and an anonymous survivor, voice is given to those united through an unfortunately common experience often relegated to silence.
The visual narrative echoes the raw intensity of the voiceover, employing masterful symbolism to depict a woman confronting the staunch memory of sexual violence. The imagery, both beautiful and haunting, unfolds a story of resilience. A young girl ensnared in the silhouette of a man transforms, toyed with like powerless prey in the palms of a predator, who then sinks into a dark, suffocating ocean of complacency. The narrative takes a hopeful turn as light pierces through the darkness, symbolized by a ladder leading her out of years-long silence. It becomes a powerful assertion that voices, when united, are formidable weapons against the scourge of sexual violence.
The PSAs made waves in the press, appearing in Los Angeles Times, New York Times, Huffington Post, NBC News, and Campaign.
