Description:
"Don't Ever Leave Me" is a 3-minute online film by Lacta chocolate in Greece that subverts the branded entertainment romantic films that have made the brand famous in the country.
In 2021, amidst a 50% rise in femicides in Greece, Lacta wanted to declare that possessive behaviour isn't "love" and should not be tolerated while warning women in abusive relationships to seek help before it's too late, in cooperation with an NGO.
Released on the "International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women", the film became the #1 trending video on YouTube, was shown at schools, and aired for free on most TV channels, beginning a much-needed discussion in Greek society, whilst calls for help by domestic violence survivors increased x8 times.
