Content warning: this work is on the subject matter of child abuse.
In France, a child victim of sexual abuse still has to prove before the law that they did not consent. That’s the unbearable reality the French organisation Face à l’Inceste (which acts for child protection) is fighting. The two-minute animated film, entitled Two Monsters in My Story, raises the disturbing nature of the question of consent. It focuses on how the legal framework forces a victim to keep reliving their physical and psychological nightmare, and petitions for a change of the law.
What did the judges have to say?
"The overall craft and execution of every element of each film was brilliant."
Andy Baker, Director, Andy Baker Studio
