Hidden Camera Catches Norwegians Reacting to Boy in the Cold Without a Jacket (VIDEO)

Credit :

Some do-gooders in Norway set up a hidden camera and had a boy actor sit at a bus stop without a jacket, shivering. They wanted to see how everyday citizens would react to seeing this child in need. As we see in the video, a number of bystanders felt compelled to help, giving the boys their gloves, scarves and coats, even if it meant sitting exposed to the cold themselves.

While the video is already a feel-good display of Norwegian generosity, it's actually meant to help the displaced children of Syria, who have lost everything just to survive the civil war that rages on there. The campaign asks viewers to help buy jackets for Syrian children who are freezing to death in refugee camps.

Reddit users alsoilikebeer, konsollfreak and Flaggermusmannen translated the video's text and audio. (I edited for punctuation and clarity.)
