Synopsis
Draw for Change! is a six-part documentary series about female cartoonists in Mexico, USA, Russia, India, Syria, and Egypt. The series blends documentary and animation in exploration of themes such as femicide and female representation. In the face of censorship and death threats, these rebellious artists strive to change their society and refuse to give in.

Note from the artistic direction
A true emotional uppercut with a mix of live-action shots and animated sequences, Draw for Change! dives into the daily life of female illustrators around the globe, their commitments and fights. The series’ narration and style are as demanding as the issues discussed, that we believe to be so absolutely necessary.
