The refugee crisis isn’t just a story on the news – it’s happening here and it’s happening now. This spot picks up where the last one from two years ago left off. It's still just as visceral as ever. The first spot racked up more than fifty million views. Why not recreate it or do a follow up? As a part two sequel though, it starts to make it feel more like a story, as opposed to reality. At least to me. But that's the problem with good advertising. See the original one from 2014.
