Honest Government Ad | Global Sumud Flotilla (Patreon)

Dear Patrons

Here's the latest Honest Government Ad!Honest Government Ad | Global Sumud FlotillaThis one is about the Global Sumud Flotilla - the largest civilian maritime mission to Gaza, to date, comprising 50 boats, with hundreds of people from 40+ countries - in an attempt to open a humanitarian corridor to Gaza. It's a historic moment of international solidarity, as world governments are proving completely unable (or unwilling) to enforce international law in Gaza. So this is our attempt to lend a hand from afar. It's an incredibly dangerous mission. And I am inspired by the people who've put their lives on the line; doctors, lawyers, actors, artists, activists, members of parliament (some Italian MEPs, of whom I am proud). And even a mum from Hobart joined the flotilla the other day!Thank you as always for your support. Being 100% independently supported by our Patrons, as we are, makes it possible to make content like this which is often silenced and censored on both mainstream and social media. And judging by the comments we're receiving, this is hugely appreciated by the Juice Media's audience out there, too.As for the video, you've probably noticed a few new things:1. The actor! We're stoked to welcome Sarah Bartolo as our guest-actor. Sarah has been fearlessly making satire about Israel and Gaza on her Instagram, so I invited her to host this HGA. And I think she nailed it! Please give her a follow if you're on insta!2. The short / vertical format!The vertical format makes videos more easily shareable on instagram, where the Global Sumud Flotilla is being followed most prominently. And at 90 seconds, it's designed to be a "reel" (which reaches a wider audience). It also means we were able to produce it in just a few days. (And because of the 90 second limit, I wasn't able to include the producer credits - apologies)So this is an example of the fast, quick-response HGAs I mentioned, which I hope to make from time to time, to cover unfolding events in a more nimble format. Let me know what you think? Personally, I DON'T like vertical videos! I prefer the traditional horizontal format! But I recognise the benefit of doing some videos this way. So we're giving it a crack and we'll see how it goes.nb: there is currently no horizontal version of this video. (I am trying to resist the temptation to make one as I want to start work on our next HGA!)Until then, take careGiordanoHere are the links to the video: Instagram videoYoutube videoFacebook videoTiktok video
