Documentary Animation

Documentary Animation, in my opinion, is a way to make a wider audience pay attention to some hard hitting issues within the world. A lot of topics are difficult to document in film either because they are too harsh that the film would be too upsetting to watch, or that they just aren't particularly interesting. This is where animation can help. Animated documentaries can be made more interesting and engaging, whilst still informing people of the facts, and they can also soften the blow of some more upsetting topics. The only problem with this is that you need to find a balance between making something less upsetting to an audience, and making it so soft that it ruins the message or makes a farce out of the topic.
