Coca-Cola Commercial (1971)

Plot / Description

Hilltop 
The commercial begins with a closeup of a singing woman (solo). As the camera pans back, we can see more and more people who join in the singing. All the people are of all countries, colors, ethnicities, backgrounds, cultures, etc. Each of them is holding a glass bottle of Coca Cola and standing on a grassy hillside (near Rome in Italy).
