I HEAR YOU OXFAM/VANITY FAIR

I HEAR YOU CAMPAIGN on Vanity Fair.

Vanity Fair and Producer/Director Julie Anne Robinson are working with Oxfam and CAA to amplify, in the first-person, the most universal and human stories of people fleeing conflict. Stories will be told – embodied – by powerful, relatable, and respected actors to influence people still searching for a point of view on complex refugee crises.
Rather than emphasizing the tragic, desperate, and dramatic, each video will gently reveal what is most universal, relatable, and mundane in the lives of the refugees who are profiled. Our goal is to disarm the viewer and open them up to another perspective. Each video will be about 2-3 minutes long against a simple background, and the viewer may not even realize that the story is that of a refugee until well into the video. The viewer may even assume at first that it is the celebrity's own personal story.
There will be no violins. There will be no exhaustive swoons. Rather, beautifully, simply… we will reveal the human experience of each life before and after they experienced conflict or war in places like Syria, DRC, Burundi, Lebanon and Tanzania.
