SickKids VS Undeniable

//  10.14.16


Well this is epic and inspiring.

SickKids Foundation has launched a new spot, once again in partnership with Cossette and Skins and Bones Film Company director Mark Zibert. And it’s pretty freaking great.

SickKids “Anthem” brings together a multitude of forces, a metaphor, to depict the epic battles that go on everyday at The Hospital for Sick Children.Images of soldiers, gladiators, knights and superheroes symbolically represent the fight against sickness, the real warriors are the children, their families supported by their doctors and nurses who truly take on this fight everyday.

All of the children in this anthem are currently being treated at SickKids or have been patients at the hospital.

“A sombre emotional tone is an effective approach to communicating the everyday at SickKids. Where you can’t help but feel sorry and rightfully so, for the children and families who deal with the incomprehensible on a daily basis, says Zibert. “But spending weeks and months at the hospital sheds a different light altogether. There exists​ ​countless stories of unbounded strength and courage in the face of illness and death. It’s hard to describe in words. The film attempts to convey that side of their stories using a combination of metaphor and frenetic pace. Showing their defiance in the face of illness.”
