Abstract

The present work proposes a reflection on the differences that voluntary work brings in the lives of people who suffer some kind of social abandonment or some complication, whether disease or even those who go through needs. Often volunteering goes beyond work, donations or lodging. “Volunteering” can be a company, care or support, but also someone who goes beyond help, and who seeks the development of society, educational, leisure or culture actions. In order to make a certain difference in the lives or routine of people in need who in their most of them are lonely. The aim of this work was to present the importance of voluntary work, which is often unknown, ant this purpose was achieved through the production of a documentary in storytelling format, that is, telling the story with testimonials from some volunteers, from different places with various tasks, knowing the stories, overcoming and experiences. The production with a minimalist character, brings details of expressions, gestures objects and places that mark the life of the volunteer within the environment he works on, conveying feelings in his stories. The role of advertising in this project had the main objective of showing the support that communication can do to change society’s view of what voluntary work is.
