The video is set up to show what many would expect when viewing security camera footage: people stealing, groups of people fighting, drug deals going down and pickpockets.
But in a surprising turn of events, it shows exactly the opposite.
Clever subtitles guide the viewer through scenes where people ‘steal’ kisses in public, groups of people play-fight and dance, and where strangers help each other.
According to tech blog Mashable, a representative from Coca Cola says that while there ” are a few clips that, while the situation is real, we had to recreate for the ad because it was impossible to find and secure permissions from all the people recorded on the cameras.”
This is the original video from Coca Cola.
