Animated Documentary about Women and Politics in Sierra Leone

Here are a few stills from the short documentary I’m working on at the moment. The final film will combine live action with animated sequences, which help to portray the struggle women face in getting a fair representation in the political arena in Sierra Leone.

The documentary is directed by artist filmmaker Anna Cady and funded by Screen South and Pathways for Womens Empowerment.

We went to Sierra Leone in November to shoot the live-action portion of the film, which is concentrated around a portrait of female MP Dr Bernadette Lahai.
