In its fall campaign, Gap is spotlighting change-making individuals by highlighting their stories in a series of video portraits.

The creative effort stars a wide-ranging cast in terms of both background and professions, from Oscar-winning filmmaker Chloé Zhao to space enthusiast Alyssa Carson, a student who hopes to one day visit Mars. The assets will live on Gap’s brand channels and appear on television, out-of-home and social media.
