"The participants in the video, which has more than 5 million views, are actors and extras Momondo found through casting agencies...But each one actually had their DNA tested and their reactions to their results were "spontaneous," the company said." I, too, found myself moved and touched by their reactions. There is so much distrust and hate and fear in this world. The power of discovering how related we all are can be transformative - if we let it in. Akin to the first picture of our earth from space, the "blue marble" bringing home that we are all in this together. Love transforms and unites. Fear distances and polarizes.

All individuals can be biased about plenty of things, the people shown in the video were biased (not racist) against certain races for whatever reason. Maybe they don't like another countries sports team or got injured by a specific group of individuals? Who knows? As for this being video being faked, probably.

We are not equal. We have given each other the right for equal rights and opportunities. People use the expression as if it meant the same, but It's not the same. The difference between being equal and having the same rights is that if we were all equal, there would not be the differences required to have exchange of ideas and the inspiration that creates progress and advancement. It would all be stagnant. All the same. Never changing. Stuck in time. Living dead. You can't build anything interesting if you only have one kind of Lego piece.

[@MithranArkanere]

[@algonzalez6853]

we are not, blacks and indigenous pre-american didnt have advanced societies for a reason

[@algonzalez6853]

@ShariSez1 where did i say i dont consider myself that? I do wtf. I'm eurodescendant, so i am western. I am probably not a pureblood but there are reasons for that, and its not something to be proud of

[@huntercoleherr]

While certainly interesting, I don't get why this was so emotional for some people. Is it really so surprising that after thousands of years, our bloodlines are pretty much all mixed?

[@tablaturebutler2823]

Sadly, many people on this planet are deeply invested in notions of racial "purity." Racism is truly a global scourge, and perhaps an endemic flaw in the human character...

[@gunnycanimation3465]

Many people are driven and have a negative look towards other countries due to conflicts and racism. For example many black people don't may be scared of finding white genes and this may be very shocking or terrifying as they had to live with a barrier between races

[@Lilium805]

Yes it may be scripted, but the message is no less sincere and powerful.

[@gunnycanimation3465]

So a video about the awareness of drug use is not sincere and powerful?

[@tablaturebutler2823]

Jason Creamer - Sincere and spontaneous aren't synonyms - the Gettysburg Address was "scripted" - but I think most would accept it as sincere. There might be a few other passages in literature that qualify as well...

[@rights9620]

Fake or not, I just want to say that you guys got my attention, well played , good campaign. From the guy who skipped 99% of ad for anything.

[@benjaminvandorp9224]

Agreed, honestly, I think I might get a test done as a direct result of this ad. Cool stuff.

[@AkeN996]

Well, these kind of tests do exist and there are plenty of specialised companies doing this (including this one, I guess) for around 200 Euros or so.

The moment they acted like they didn't know wtf DNA was, was the moment I was 100% sure they were acting

[@diegoa137]

Immediately when I saw the Cuban guy I said to myself, "black (Africa), Europe, and Native American (Americas)" , I don't understand why it's so emotional for people and why they would believe that they're just one thing. I'm Mexican so for sure I know I would have Native American and European but I would really want to get tested to see everything.

[@Shahan777B]

last time I saw something as fake as this, I kicked my girlfriend out

[@borisdavidov6600]

Last time you had brain was like never!

[@haandkantslag]

I like the Ad, but find some of it fake too... I have a theory that some of these conversations are taken out of context and that perhaps even some of the people are actors.

[@Shahan777B]

@boris if I don't have brain, how did I figured out this is fake...oh wait nevermind even a 3 year old child would figure out how fake this is

Science never lies, I do myself scientific studies and manipulations we practice to check your DNA identity cannot be wrong as the latter is repeated as much as possible to get the best results and delete the more mistakes

Great acting 10/10, sucks that the camera work reveals a tint of "Fake"

[@hungrylurker]

I keep reading in the comments that this is all fake. As someone who works in advertising and has done several of these 'interview' videos, I'm pretty sure some of these interviewees are real people and some are actors because that's usually what we do. It's almost always 50/50 like that. We'll usually use the reactions of real people because theirs is more genuine, and then use the actors' lines as padding (the British skinhead guy is definitely an actor).

[@AkwaArifin]

thank you :) now what is your heritage ?

[@randomnessocity]

Yeah the skin head and the red head seem like plants, but everyone else seems legit IMO

[@hungrylurker]

***** For a detailed answer I would have to spit in a tube first.

[@AkwaArifin]

hahaha :D

[@jasonr.c.390]

Is their another way than spitting x_x I detest spitting unless their's something in my mouth. That guy doing it so casually made my skin crawl.

[@SoobakStudio]

Despite the acting, we need to look at the message of the video.

[@stoneroses13]

Well said!

[@Xanofar]

I guess, but the whole "reality TV" angle really rubs me the wrong way.

[@zoeartrc]

I've watched this many times and yet it still blows my mind.

[@kamagatezoumanan]

I'm telling you

[@Leitosssssss]

To me they also look like actors, too perfect behavior. :D

[@davidkasomov6936]

yeah

[@wondermouse7]

We are not actors :)

[@Jeweleye62]

I didn't think so at all....their reactions seem very genuine to me. Looks like the producers may have asked for participants or just chose random strangers. How would you have expected them to act?

[@davidkasomov6936]

+Epigen Serioku it looks like they filmed it on multipul takes aswell

[@risel_spain]

This is the complete truth. I was born and raised in Russia, and at 33 I realized that this is not my country, my heart called me to Spain, I began to notice that I have a lot in common with Germany, Japan, Spain, although I have no relatives there. But I always knew in my heart that my blood has ancestors who were born in these countries, there is a feeling inside of me. Now I live in my beloved country of Spain, and in my city near inhabited by people from more than 120 countries from all over the world, and I like that all are equal and there is no nationalism. And I always say that my homeland - is the planet earth. Esta es la verdad completa. Nací y crecí en Rusia, y en el 33 me di cuenta de que esto no es mi país, mi corazón me llamó para España, empecé a notar que tiene mucho en común con Alemania, Japón, España, aunque no tengo parientes allí. Pero siempre supe en mi corazón que mi sangre, tiene antepasados ​​que nacieron en estos países, hay una sensación dentro de mí. Ahora vivo en mi querido país de España, y en mi ciudad cerca habitadas por personas de más de 120 países de todo el mundo, y me gusta que todos son iguales y no hay nacionalismo. Y yo siempre digo que mi tierra - es el planeta tierra.

[@CogumelandoLives]

This is staged? Because theres a lot of overreactions out of nowhere...

[@malmapunkrock]

looks like actors/staged i agree

[@mattematt2641]

According to their website, they hired extras for some of the people behind the group, and 10 of the 67 participants have some kind of acting experience (though this included being minor extras). They further admit to some retakes, but claim the initial reaction from opening the envelope is not staged, and to make sure they captured it properly they used 4 cameras. The spitting in tube bit is staged in the sense that that was not the test they used.

[@TravisInCanada1]

Staged or not your DNA doesn't lie.

This is about DNA, not about culture. I too don't believe in cultural relativism though.

Their reactions are pretty good, but the director should really have done a second take of the interviews section...

[@circleinfo]

They aren't actors, or at least they aren't acting here. Only some people in the background are hired www.momondo.com/inspiration/momondo-the-dna-journey-how-it-was-made/#fDspzKux6dZQM5x5.97

[@KristinaSandnes]

My ancestors came from both Germany and Finland. That's what we know so far. Probably more places tho! That's kind of cool to think about. No one has ONE certain background - we come from all around the world. People move around all the time, meet people from other places and have children. And it goes on and on... :)

[@BBPaws]

This is beautiful and amazing! I wish they could do that for me. If everyone would look at themselves like this we'd have a lot less of a problem with racism and prejudice. Even if it is a film, it's still great.

[@dunkenud4131]

the DNA test is expensive though...

[@jonah6037]

Unfortunately, our world is corrupt and broken. People want money and power not peace and unity. I would wish everyone would start uniting but unfortunately they won't. Personally I judge people as an individual not as a group. I really try to avoid being racist. As we are one people.

Do you realise that the producer of this commercial must have figured that that was some solid acting?

This was so awesome! It brought tears to my eyes. I had to watch it for Interpersonal Communication, but I truly enjoyed it. I agree with the woman who stated that it should be compulsory. That would encourage tolerance and inclusivity. This is the good stuff!

I found their reactions interesting. I did mine a couple if years ago and I remember I was excited while for my results. I wasn't surprised of my results because of knowing the history of the area of where I'm from in Mexico. my results: 58%European (24%Iberian Peninsula 16%Italy/Greece 6%European Jewish 6%Great Britain 4%Ireland

[@dicecorporation]

Why are ppl surprised by this (maybe except for the cousin part)? We are all mixed. And not that I particularly hate anyone, but why would I be more open to a country or nationality that I potentially hate just because one of my ancestor was from there? Hate nowadays isn't originated from culture, but rather religion or politics, and such things will not change in a world with 7 billion people. We could wish that it was that easy, but I'm just being a realist
