By Ryan ParkY&R Mexico Just Made A Very Powerful Bookstore Commercial #BaconBits
Los Angeles-based Central Films North’s award-winning director Rodrigo Garcia Saiz ignites a knowledge-fueled riot, defying police aggression with books in the affecting :90 “Weapons” for Mexican bookstore Gandhi out of Young & Rubicam Mexico. The cinematic spot features a group of young radicals preparing to face an onslaught of riot shield-brandishing officers that are readying themselves for conflict with batons and vicious dogs.
The Ham’s Take
During a time of civil unrest and political scandal in Mexico, Gandhi Bookstores is carpe-ing the f-cking diem with Y&R Mexico. This advertisement is ballsy, and what captured us the most was how much it said without one word being spoken. If knowledge is power, than Gandhi Bookstores has transformed itself nicely into The Allspark.
