The F Word: Famine New Ad Video!

Bono, George Clooney, Jessica Alba, Idris Elba and more unite behind ONE's new campaign to help focus the world's attention again on the famine and food crisis in the Horn of Africa.


Bono's charity ONE is focusing on fighting famine in the Horn of Africa:

" More than 30,000 children have died in just three months. The pictures from Dadaab look like a nightmare from centuries past. Yet, this is the 21st century and these pictures are real and on the whole, unseen. "

Telegraph reports that more than 13 million people across East Africa are facing severe hunger. 750,000 people in the area are facing imminent starvation. ONE hope that this new commercial will bring more attention to the food crises in Africa.

At the Huffington Post, Bono writes:
" ONE's new film The F Word: Famine is the Rel Obscenity isn't a typical emotional emergency appeal. It's about focusing the media spotlight on the tragedy unfolding. It's about building political support in the US and around the world for intervention that will stop the suffering today and break the cycle pf famine in the future. Most of all, it's about talking action- because famine is man-made. "
