Transporting you to Mexico as we introduce Don Julio's new 1942 miniature 5cl bottles.

Tortured and beaten, Jianbo’s mind splinters into fragments of his personality. Aggressors, desperate to break his character - to contain him, to conform him - are met with vengeance. In his struggle to fight back against his captors, we get a glimpse of the kaleidoscopic identities and traits that together form the artist that is Jianbo.

An uplifting and cinematic piece to introduce Forever Living's four day wellness system. Shot over 2.5 days; London and Snowdonia.
