UN Women Iceland

A series of Icelandic men, both celebrities and unknowns, were asked to read aloud the true stories of gender-based violence against women around the world. After finishing the last text, they learn the Icelandic woman who’s been handing them the texts to read penned it. The impact on the men is immediate and unmistakably heart-breaking. The viewer experiences the authentic emotion and vulnerability of men recognizing how close gender-based violence is to them.
