Experiencing Interruptions?

Sick Sun

This film is one of the outputs of a storytelling and drawing workshop to teach Sudanese children in Cairo to make animated films to express their ideas, dreams, and vision of their world and what surrounds them.
The film's story tells about the rise in the temperature of the sun due to the increase in pollution in nature, which results from carbon dioxide from car exhausts and factory smoke.
The workshop was implemented with the support of the Al-Noon Foundation for Family Care and the Gang Academy for Knowledge, Training and Consultation
