Levi Strauss is running “Now is Your Time”, the latest instalment in the Go Forth advertising series, featuring “The Laughing Heart”, a poem by Charles Bukowski.

The campaign, launched globally, is not yet running in the UK, due to the resemblance of some images to the current wave of riots in British cities.
