- A documentary series about female cartoonists from all around the globe, challenging the red lines and taboos of their society. In search of people who experience their drawings in reality, they take us on a bold journey into their world.
- In today's era of digital misinformation, cartoonists retain their influence as essential voices. They offer a distinctive perspective that cuts through the clutter of social media, populism, and fake news, offering clarity and acting as beacons of social commentary and activism. DRAW FOR CHANGE. is a 6-part documentary series featuring female cartoonists from Mexico, India, Russia, Syria, Egypt, and the USA. It delves into their artistic world, exploring how their drawings impact real lives. Each episode, directed by a distinguished female director from these respective countries, seamlessly blends documentary, cartoons, and animation. These cartoonists often have compelling stories; for instance, Amany Al-Ali from Syria, caught between Assad forces and Al-Nusra, boldly criticizes both sides through her cartoons. Meanwhile, Rachita Taneja faces a potential two-year prison sentence for her art's alleged contempt of India's Supreme Court. In this series we'll meet strong women who are each rebellious in their own way: they draw because it is unthinkable for them not to do so. The price they pay for performing their work gives these characters a dramatic edge. They have been fired, intimidated or threatened with death. But they invariably refuse to give in and succeed - if only a little - in changing their society.
