[ speaking in foreign language ] someone who's going to help illegal immigrants cross the border. >> all played by little kids. >> the kids are playing out what their lives could be like if there is no real change in mexico. at the very end of the video, we end up with a lot of people behind bars. then you hear the voice of a little girl saying, if this is the future that awaits me, i don't want it. and she addresses the four presidential candidates of mexico right now directly saying, are you running for just the position or are you doing it to really change the future of our country? >> wow. an effective ad campaign if it's challenging the people running for political office to do the right thing. to want to make the country better and get rid of some of the problems that are plaguing mexico right now. this is no accident. >> because he starts backing up
