Catholic aid agency Trocaire, based in Ireland, has launched its annual Lent advertising campaign. This year, Trócaire’s Lenten campaign is about people who have been forced from home by war. 26 million people have had to abandon their homes because of conflict to seek safety elsewhere within their country. “Hiding Places”, a 40 second TV ad, tells the story of a young Somali boy who has experienced many traumatic situations and has been forced to leave his family.
