The ad features Jenner walking through a crowd of protesters to hand a Pepsi Max to a police officer He drinks it and the protesters immediately cheer. 

The line, "We are the movement this generation" is used and then you can hear the soda can opening to cheers. 

The reaction on social media has been one of outrage over the depiction that is said to trivialize the Black Lives Matter and other social justice movements.
