We had the honor of bringing a young refugee’s story to life for World Refugee Day 2021. Meet Abdallah, an EMT on the frontlines of the pandemic who was resettled in the U.S. as a teen. His journey, however, began in Iraq when he was only a first grader.
We are so proud of this video and how it all came together with our partner USA For UNHCR. We got to know Abdallah over video calls, and developed a visual style to match his story, personality and voice. Fun fact: Abdallah is a musician and plays some guitar parts in the video’s custom score.
