The film, which was screened in Australia earlier this month, gives an inside look at the world of advertising and profiles some of the most influential advertising creatives of our time–those people who have profoundly impacted our culture, yet are virtually unknown outside their industry.

These artists and writers brought a surprisingly rebellious spirit totheir work beginning with the creative revolution of the 1960s. Thedocumentary unveils the stories behind famous campaigns such as Nike’s ‘Just Do It’, ‘I Love NY’ and ‘Got Milk’ plus Apple ‘1984’ and the more recent iPod work.
