The date is the second of June, and currently, there are marches all over the globe in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement in the USA. A friend recently suggested that creativity can help to spread messages in situations like this… Why don’t I (and other animators) work to make films that help movements like Black Lives Matter? Whilst I think that creative output can absolutely help to make messages clearer, to satirise a certain white supremacist in the White House, and ensure that the right voices are heard, I have come to the conclusion that caution and sensitivity is needed when representing non-white voices. I myself would not presume to be able to accurately represent to issues of anyone who hasn’t lived with the benefits of my white privilege. I am interested in producing animated documentary films in the future, and will ensure that in the the future, when approaching a new project or character, I will consider whose voice should be represented, how, and when.
