His first campaign for the US market, Stink director Ian Ruschel delicately brings to life this heart-warming human narrative, developed by Leo Burnett for nappy brand Huggies.
The film follows a NICU nurse who was born prematurely and spent the first days of her own life in intensive care. It captures pivotal moments in her life, highlighting the profound impact of neonatal care and the resilience of those who experience it firsthand.
To create Little Fighters, Ruschel and the team consulted Savannah first hand, and based key moments on the real photographs of her childhood and other formative experiences.
