Priyanka Chopra, has recently joined Wiz Khalifa, Adwoa Aboah and Maria Borges for an ad film titled Bridging the Gap.
says there are so many gaps in this world that need to be bridged.
“Bridging the Gap is exactly what the world needs right now. There are so many gaps in this world that need to be bridged and filled. The most important one for me is empowering women, women need to be given an opportunity to stand on their feet and do the best they can for themselves,” Priyanka said in a statement.
Bridging the Gap stars Christie Brinkley, Miles Chamley-Watson, Jonathan Groff, Fernanda Ly, Casil Mcarthur, Lineisy Montero, Ellen Rosa, Jasmine Sanders, Yara Shahidi and Alek Wek. Edward Enninful debuts as the director in the film that depicts the American optimism. Bridging the Gap has been made for the clothing brand Gap.
The artists in the film were dressed in the iconic Gap basic white T-shirts, that acted as a clean canvas for each of the cast to take and make their very own. In the process, the film emphasised on how their differences united them.
“This project is about authenticity and people living their truths,” said Enninful. The cast sings “Sunny” by Boney M, which delivers a message of optimism, as they dance to their own rhythm depicting their individuality, until they come together as a symbol of unity.
Khalifa said: “To me, Bridging the Gap means making diversity more acceptable, by making it okay to look or act different. I do that by being myself.”
For Christie Brinkley, it’s a statement of mutual humanity and freedom, “Freedom for me means not being concerned what others think of or expect from me, but living my life with the intention of making the world a better place for others,” Brinkley added.
