The social experiment conducted by the brand brought forth one of the most pressing issues which tends to go unnoticed. The film opens with a vital question about who cares for the family the most, the most obvious answer being – “our mothers”. With the #BacktoSchool campaign, Sunfeast conducts a social experiment wherein mothers participate in a physical exercise class. It seems that halfway through the class, the women run short of breath. This makes the children wonder how their mothers are always so busy taking care of them while they end up forgetting to look after their own health. This emotive pieceis now creating waves in the digital space with a robust viewership of more than 11.7 million views already.
