Still the Most Shocking Second a Day is a follow-up to the multi-award winning viral hit Most Shocking Second a Day, which was launched in 2014 to bring the plight of Syria’s children to the world’s attention.
Since the original was released about 470,000 deaths have been caused by the Syrian civil war. 11.5 percent of the Syrian population has been wounded or killed since 2011, when the conflict began. 13.5 million Syrians are in dire need of humanitarian assistance. 4.6 million Syrians have become refugees, and 6.6 million are displaced within the country; of that number, half are children.
However often with ongoing crises, whether we like it or not people begin to get bored, the issues fall on deaf ears, in a messed up way people are waiting for the next crisis to happen and engage with.
The film aimed to get people to re-engage, to not forget and continue supporting Save the Children's work to help child refugees.
