Director(s):
Company / Institution / Agency:
- Radical Entertainment Ltd.
Description:
Katy Perry inspires hope in a few individuals who are in the crux of troubling situations. In the video, she reminds them that everyone has a “fire” inside; it just needs to be ignited.
Several vignettes explore insecurities that prevent people from being their true selves. Vignettes include a cancer-stricken young girl who idolizes pop stars, a young magician embarrassed by his talent, and a teenage girl self-conscious about her body at a pool party.
