Brief Explanation

Directed in a single-shot, talking head style. The commercial opens with a long-haired woman, speaking directly to viewers. The empowered and confident woman begins by saying, “You know me well…”, and going on to list her other traits and achievements. Suddenly, challenging preconceived assumptions, the camera scales back and the woman removes her hair, revealing it to be a wig, to show her wearing a hijab underneath. The film closes with the statement ‘Before you judge us by the way we are covered, know us better.’
