Four versions of a black and white advert, with sound, for the Guardian newspaper. The adverts all have the same content but different straplines.

The advert features a skinhead who appears to be wrestling a man's briefcase from his hands. The camera then pans out and viewers see that he is in fact trying to rescue the man from falling bricks.

Commentary: "An event seen from one point of view gives one impression. Seen from another point of view it gives quite a different impression but it's only when you get the whole picture you can fully understand what's going on".
