The Campaign

This commercial tells the story of a young Emirati boys’ first Ramadan. With poignant humour based on strong cultural insights, we show him overcoming the challenges of fasting for the first time, then coming together with his family at the end of the day to appreciate the meaning of this holy month that is so important in the UAE.
