‘The Problem is Not Seeing the Problem’ is a powerful film that serves as a stark reminder that the advertising industry has a long way to go to remove sexist, racist and false stereotypes from its output.

The two minute film shows mocked up auditions for actors, playing typical roles such as cornershop vendors, tired mothers and useless dads. Each short scene cycles through familiar tropes, before revealing the actors' true feelings regarding these roles, and the work they'd like to produce instead.

The film was was created by MullenLowe London for the Unstereotype Alliance, the industry-led initiative convened by UN Women - the lead UN agency on gender equality & woman’s rights.
