Hope




I just recently saw this commercial for "From Hunger to Hope" and I thought it was very powerful. The whole commercial is in black and white and Christina Aguilera is singing one of her most famous songs, "Beautiful". While that is going on, words are flashing across the screen about how you can help fight world hunger. The organization has made this commercial so simple, but so inspirational. Instead of using footage of starving children, they have used a powerful celebrity who is able to influence others. Personally, seeing commercials of starving children makes me very uncomfortable and I usually change the channel. I kept this commercial on the whole time and it literally made me go to the website to see what I could do to help. It makes me feel like I can help even though I am just an ordinary person. Christina's singing makes me think of how we all need to come together to help one another. The combination of the black and white film, Christina's beautiful voice, and the crowd standing around is so beautiful. This commercial is pleasing to the eye and the ear. From Hunger to Hope did a phenomenal job at advertising their organization. I hope it inspires many people to go out and donate, because I know it has inspired me.
