GOODNIGHT, TRAVEL WELL
MTV EXIT (End Exploitation and Trafficking) and Sydney agency Colman Rasic Carrasco (CRC) have partnered with UNICEF and USAID to produce a music video for United States rock band, The Killers, which highlights the dangers and impact of trafficking for sexual exploitation.
The video for track 'Goodnight, Travel Well' from the new Killers' album 'Day & Age' was filmed by Hollywood director, David Slade (30 Days of Night, Hard Candy), and is running globally across all of MTV's properties on-air and on-line.
The Killers commented, "We are deeply shocked and appalled that women and children are forced into such exploitative situations. We hope that through MTV's efforts and this powerful video that millions of people across the world learn about this tragic form of modern-day slavery".
Dejan Rasic and Rebecca Carrasco of Colman Rasic Carrasco spent five months working on the project in partnership with UNICEF, USAID and MTV EXIT.
"It is a confronting topic and people can too easily tune-out to awareness messages about the issue," said Carrasco. Dejan Rasic adds, "That's why the tie-up with The Killers and MTV works in creating a medium that will grab people's attention."
This is the second in a series of collaborations on the issue of human trafficking between Colman Rasic Carrasco and MTV Exit, the first being the music video for Radiohead's hit single 'All I Need' last year.
