This video goes behind the scenes to show the making of a spot to promote the Salvation Army’s Christmas donation drive. Working with Grey Canada, the Sally Ann wanted to show Torontonians how people feel when basic necessities are out of reach. It’s frustrating and that’s exactly how the customers of a grocery store felt when, during regular business hours, the Sally Ann emptied the soup aisle of the store save for one box that was conveniently (not so much for the shoppers) out of reach.
