With days to go before Nevada caucuses, the Hillary Clinton campaign has released an advertisement, titled “Brave,” that features a single, poignant moment from the campaign trail to highlight the candidate’s position on immigration.

On Screen

The opening scene, not so much resembling a polished advertisement as a clip from a reality television show, shows Mrs. Clinton sitting in front of a classroom. The face of a girl in attendance fades in and out of focus, unintentionally, as the camera shakes and the audio is washed-out from noise in the room.

“My parents, they have a letter of deportation,” the girl says, at first resolute, before her voice begins to shake. She struggles to finish. “I’m scared they are going to be deported.”

Off camera, Mrs. Clinton calls the girl over, in the consoling way a concerned mother might summon a sobbing child. Still wiping away tears, the girl climbs onto her lap. “I’m going to do everything I can so you don’t have to be scared,” Mrs. Clinton says. For more than 40 seconds of the 60-second ad, the camera remains on the two, and Mrs. Clinton continues to try to console.
