Young advertising executive René Saavedra has agreed to produce the nightly 15-minute TV ads for the ‘No’ campaign.

Instead, he aims to employ colourful, upbeat images and bright messages of a hopeful future to persuade the country to vote no. But, given the comfortable lives now lived by Chile’s middle classes and the general air of cynicism around the referendum (which many see as a foregone conclusion), will it work? And what are Saavedra’s real motives: democracy for his nation, or a chance to win back his estranged wife?
