When I leave Afghanistan is a short-animated documentary that I created for The Children's Society while studying for an MA in Character Animation at Central Saint Martins, London.
The movie is based on a real interview with a young Afghan Refugee who arrived in the UK after a long and dangerous journey. The animation follows the protagonist and others through their travel from Afghanistan to Calais, including the moment when their status as refugees is recognised and they are saved from limbo.
When I Leave Afghanistan is the first animated documentary made using Oculus Quills since its release in 2016.
