This documentary uses animation and archival imagery to bring to life our history. As a story that celebrates the power of women across generations, Our creative treatment was a scrapbook style, giving the content a deeply personal and familiar feel. Bonfire also collaborated with the very talented Ghazaleh Rastgar, and long-time Bonfire supporter Ali Badshah. As a writer, Ali brought his passion for multi-generational storytelling to this script and as an artist, Ghazaleh’s character-driven illustrations brings viewers right into the emotion of the story.
