About Project

The film tells a short story beginning with the Sheikh’s vision. It then continues to show the spread of his legacy using a Red Crescent Truck beginning its journey in Abu Dhabi in a small office where on its way through deserts and snow and ice to comfort, offer warmth and food and then continue its journey through the battle zones of many countries offering medical aid and resources. The truck endures floods and earthquakes to eventually arrive where it began in Abu Dhabi. At the end the office is bigger and has expanded with time and experience.

It was decided to use animation instead of using the painful and agonizing real footage of Syria and Yemen, Iraq and other war torn regions. We felt the audience had been subjected to much grief and suffering and animation would make the film easier to watch and remember. The animation allowed for more comfortable viewing and made it easier to show the film again and again without disturbing people.
