12 Years a Slave

It is important to realise that slavery still exists in this modern day and age in various forms, regardless of how less barbaric it may appear to be in comparison to how it was in the past. 

Developed by Dare London for Hope for Justice, the issue of modern slavery has been brought to light through an online advertising campaign using various media including a video and still images in the form of film posters, much similar and inspired by Steve McQueen's film, 12 Years a Slave. 

The campaign also came about at the right time when the film was receiving a lot of attention, especially with its numerous Academy Awards nominations and awards such as Best Picture and Best Actress.

Inspiration from Mr. Mandela

Some very important things you can learn from Nelson Mandela's life: 

• Have faith in justice
• Courage is the triumph over fear
• With hard work comes progress 
• Take pride in your convictions 
• Show compassion to everyone 
• Be humble
• It's futile to be thinking about what happened in the past, we are thinking about what is happening now and what should happen tomorrow
• Continue to laugh! 

Rest In Peace, Nelson Mandela (18 July 1918 - 5 December 2013).
