The Campaign

In this film, we see a group of young men who seem to suffer from an unknown, severe illness that makes them lash out and have uncontrollable angry outbursts. In separate interviews, the patients and their family members talk about how the disease is affecting their lives, and a doctor reports on the many medical treatments that have been tried in vain. The film then goes on to reveal that the men’s ailment is their addiction to Saudi soccer, and that the best cure for it is STC’s Dawri Plus application.
