Analysis

The ICRC's film addressed attacks on health services in war. This still holds on a man's face as the subtitle asks whether he is okay.

Close portraitDirect question

Why it worked

The quiet question gives the scene a personal scale. The close frame keeps the viewer with his response rather than a distant statistic.

Lesson

Bring a large public issue to one person's immediate experience.
