On January 12th, 2016 Jacob Kangholz was found dead on one of the main streets in Denmark. Hundreds of people passed by without noticing. Jacob was homeless. And invisible.

Homeless organisation 'Hus Forbi' is a monthly Danish newspaper about homelessness. It is sold on the streets of Denmark by homeless people, to help them earn money.

In light of Jacob's discovery and in an effort to create awareness of the heart-breaking fact that people ignore the homeless, Hus Forbi partnered with Danish advertising agency Hjaltelin Stahl, The Woerks and Director Toke Blicher Møller to create a fake movie trailer that aired at cinemas in the hope that people would stand up and take notice.
