A DANGEROUS JOURNEY is a cutting-edge interactive project about three children classified as “undesirables” who were interned at the Rivesaltes concentration camp in France during World War II: A Sephardic Jewish boy, a refugee from the Spanish Civil War, and a young Roma woman from Alsace.
Each story has a unique animation style, brought forth by a talented director of animation, all three of them women. Watched together, A Dangerous Journey provides a moving, multifaceted exploration of the past and its imprint on the present.
The project challenges a younger generation to reflect on dehumanization, the meaning of solidarity, and how the echoes of the past speak to our present.

Lost at Sea is based on the real-life account of a Rohingya man that was forced to flee by sea with dozens of others, and was stranded for over two weeks in the Andaman Sea. The Rohingya are the stateless, persecuted Muslim minority in Myanmar, experiencing an ongoing humanitarian crisis. In Lost at Sea, dream-like flashbacks reveal the story of this man and how he got to where he is. The film is composed of real-life documentary and news footage combined with recreations which were then rotoscope (frame-by-frame) painted by artist Richard Swarbrick to create this unique Docu-Fable Hybrid about the Rohingya, a poem to the hundreds that take to the sea in search of something better. The film is in Rohingya language and was written with the assistance of poet and activist Mayyu Ali, and is voiced by his wife, singer and activist Thida Shania.
