The Ad Council is highlighting sexual harrassment in a series of PSAs starring the Holywood famous.
Each of the films is based on real events, and depicts a scenario where a woman is a victim of sexual harrassment, sometimes at an unexpected moment. The series was made by star from Friends, David Schwimmer, and director Sigal Avin. Schwimmer himself stars in one film, playing a male boss talking to a young woman (played by Zazie Beetz) about her job, then suddenly lunging in to kiss her.
