- Cate Blanchett performs the rhythmic poem ‘What They Took With Them’ alongside fellow actors Keira Knightley, Juliet Stevenson, Peter Capaldi, Stanley Tucci, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Kit Harington, Douglas Booth, Jesse Eisenberg and Neil Gaiman.
The poem was written by Jenifer Toksvig and was inspired by stories and first-hand testimonies from refugees forced to flee their homes and items they took with them.
One of the sources for the poem was Brian Sokol’s photography project, ‘The Most Important Thing,’ made in collaboration with UNHCR. Many of Brian's photos, along with firsthand accounts from the refugees he photographed, are featured in the film.
Released exclusively on Facebook, the film urges people to sign the #WithRefugees petition to help ensure refugees have the basics to build back their lives - an education, somewhere safe to live and the opportunity to work.
Stand #WithRefugees, sign the petition: www.withrefugees.org.

My boyfriend is a refugee, and I always try my best to support him emotionally and mentally. It has been a year, and I always hope for the best for him.
this is heartbreaking. we've got so much more in common than some see. we're all so close to having to leave everything. life is more fragile than we realise.

This is an emotional and deep video, hard to believe this was created by using the poem, What They Took With Them, which is inspired by the stories and accounts of refugees, it makes you think about all those who are trying to escape, about what they go through.
It is like opening your own home to a stranger. People do this less often today than they did 50 or more years ago, because of bad experiences. It's not that those strangers are less needy. It's that we are more afraid.
Is it right, is it wrong?
We have to think of accepting refugees as if they were knocking on each of our doors, crying. We weigh the risk against their distress or their need and decide. We can accept the risk or we can close the door. None of these choices are easy to make and it's not fair to criticize either when it's made in good conscience. It's also not fair to force your choice, whatever that may be, on your neighbors.
excellent and mature reply
No one in good councince can say it is a good thing to deny refuge to those who need it , the refugees. I am from Turkey and we have more than 3.500.000 millon people from Syria here and they are my brothers and sister , whom I hope one day will see their homes again where they are safe but even then they are welcome here.
@@afd1040 You can't just generalize that. Not everyone can accept refugees willingly or unwillingly. Have so nuance in your thinking not everything is so cut and dry
Thank you for this video... We need these videos...
Makes me wonder what I would take, if I had to run like that.
filter bottle nice choice. but if you had to run from your country i wander if there would left any place to run.
Pasport, food/water, warm clothes, Some family pictures and of course my brothers and parents. I had to leave my animals behind, but not alive.. I would kill the quickly, so that they will not suffer.
I've been an IDP (refugees) once, and the only thing I managed to take with me were my family only .
Eventhough we live in a big house fulled with a lot of pricey stuff !
Very powerful and enlightening.
This is such a haunting video - it's fantastic though... These people are just like us, but they're forced to live such uncertain and unstable lives... :(
And in an instant ..everything that we knew was gone. Life is fragile.
une vidéo pleine d'émotion, courage et force aux refugiés
What goes around, comes around. They used to be just like us, now look at them. We should ask ourselves now if our charity really is all tapped out, so that we have a moral leg to stand on when we need to beg for help.
I hear Turkey's nice this time of year
just be wary of any internal power struggles that involve a vehicle with a gun on it.
This video shows us how similar we are- regardless of social, politics and geography questions. We're one. We are HUMAN first of all and above all.
But that’s not how everyone sees it unfortunately
Who would give this a thumbs down? Heartless
Heartless are this promis...which have millions and millions of dollar, and spend no money to the refugees, but say the people, they should do.
This made me cry so much.
It's truly heart breaking and thought provoking.
If the Doctor is involved with this group, you know it's a very serious situation.
We ought to stop this warmongers favourite game war and the war industry. Otherwise, we will keep on listening these heart breaking stories.
Our climate crisis will have most of us migrating. A special thank you to the real 100 corporate polluters that if their business would be regulated could save our planet and millions of future forced migration. Who will help us if we don't help ourselves? It is the Millennials that will really pay the cost.
this has touched me so deeply. i wish that wasn’t someone’s reality but it is.
Am blessed I live in a safe country
If i was alive in the 70s-90s i wouldnt be. 🇨🇮
this is incredible
I don't understand how people can think this video is "propaganda." These are human beings who have been forced out of their homes by violence and war. They need understanding and support, not fear and discrimination.
Because there are highly paid actors on the stage, they could have used non actors... who are they trying so hard to convince .. thats why this video would seem like propaganda. i don't trust actors, they are very good liars...
Politicians are better liars. These people, unlike many popular politicians nowadays, actually have a sense of empathy. A word most likely unknown to the majority of the people in this comment section. They used actors because they would reach a wider audience. Who would have thought they actually wanted attention to be brough to this cause? Incredible, right?
Because the vast majority of migrants aren't these, these are cherry picked.
Do you think they will follow up with the victims of refugees, i'm sure their stories could be equally as horrible.
sam they don't paid, they are welling to help the UNHCR.and they are the only choice to promote and get funds from people.
It is propaganda. No one of the promis who make this, take refugees to his home. Cate Blanchett is rich, but she gives no money to refugees, she just uses them to get more attention to her own person.
She is a very good actress, i love her movies, but i guess, she is not a very gut person.
Please, why are there no corrected, time sync’d captions? These words must be seen/read correctly - there are *still* errors.
wow!
House keys hit me
Thank u thank u thank u thank u thank u thank u 😔.

WOW 💯Thank you for making this powerful video.
It Makes me cry
Chills
where can i found the lyrics
Кои са предметите, с които човек побягва от дома си при внезапна опасност? Някои са абсурдни и безполезни (часовник), други имат огромна стойност - емоционална или материална (бижута)… Припомняме си и класическия въпрос „С какво ще избягате от дома при земетресение?”, на който някои хора отговарят с мълчание, други се сещат за ценен предмет, а немалко - за най-близките си. Или за котката. Но всъщност винаги става дума за спасяване на част от душата, на част от паметта… и, не на последно място, за собствения живот.
Днес 65 милиона души по цял свят са бежанци. Изгубили са домовете и притежанията си, нерядко изгубили семейството и всички шансове за завръщане в родината. И сега хора на изкуството, сред които Кейт Бланшет, Кит Харингтън, Кийра Найтли, Нийл Геймън… им заеха гласовете си, защото често бежанците нямат възможността и да говорят. Артистите прочетоха щафетно стихотворението What They Took With Them (Какво взеха със себе си) от датчанката Дженифър Тосквиг.
OMG. Powerful. Thank You for this. There is no state, only ONE PLANET, ONE PEOPLE, ONE GOD. May we learn before it's too late: LOVE makes life worth living, and LOVE makes the journey worthwhile. DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. All else is commentary.
then let me add another one to your list: ONE RULER as well. trouble is convincing all the other rulers to give up their power.
heartbreaking
:(
My mouth just opened, i couldn't close it!

#WithRefugees
This was very hard to watch without crying.
They should've made a movie at least.🤔😁 but I guess telling stories makes sense too!
Telling their stories is so important and communicates so much in a short space of time.
UNHCRT Southcrest. DR🤟🏻🤟🏻🍎✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️✈️
Thanks Jews!
I would take out my family safe.
I’m made of questions right now
No one's gonna mention Jon Snow?
powerful. confronting. moving.
Deverstating
"deverstating"???
Oh my gosh, there exists a world outside of America and other english speaking countries?
WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?!
News flash, there exists a lot of countries where English ISN'T the first language. If you're going to argue, do it well instead of being petty. It brings nothing useful or enlightening to any conversation.
Are you going to show stories of victims of refugees as well?.
#SENDTHEMTOISRAEL
Why does that guy sound like columbus from zombieland
🩷
SAD these people are leaving thier country because of countries like Russia, U.S., n Iran n several others are dictating what to do in Syria. So sad others r fighting for these refugees land. Shameful.
Just think if everyone would help.
#USAexitUN
Not an effective commercial. I found myself working on keeping up with the actors more than taking in the message.
Why is the UNHCR not doing more to protect refugees in camps in bangladesh from being raped and murdered? Why? And yet you ask for more funds. Do more!
I need help I'm from Iraq live in Turkey please
COME TO AUSTRALIA MY SO I WILL FUND THE RAFT TO PICK YOU UP
whats the point of making a raft if he is already in australia
false
Yes, but let’s address the root problem of warmongering Western dominance.
Galadriel has fallen pretty low. In the upcoming reboot of LotR, she resettles the Orcs in Lothlorien because Mordor is "such a terrible place to live in". Stand #WithOrcs
keep them out!!!
please help me
No
So many celebrities, so much money: "And the ones who have high places, must be the ones to start, mold a new reality, closer to the heart". Perhaps, they can go on better budgets and give more ? Chi sa? Chi sa ?
Wow #Propaganda
This is just emotional blackmail. All of the dangerous traveling and ruining of European countries could have been avoided by not supporting Islamist uprisings in the middle east. Which of the refugees in this video were responsible for making Sweden the 2nd highest in the world for rape?
How about spend way less and set up safe zones in their own countries, or stop taking out elected leaders and creating the turmoil. they are being encouraged to make this dangerous (for everyone) crossing into Europe, the moral high ground is not to facilitate this any longer.
Just my opinions #DontAssassinateMePlease #Deplorable
I wanted to hear you out, but I stopped at "ruining of European countries". :P
You dont mind that rape in Sweden has gone up 1400% since they let in the migrants?
What claptrap keep them in the area guard them help them but don't bring them to Europe or elsewhere keep them safe Wer they are teach them new skills so when they go back they can rebuild
Well done Propaganda Video
