Discrimi-Nation, an animated documentary movie that needs your help to make it happen!
Discrimi‑Nation is a documentary film series based on the trials of socially discriminated groups around the world. The first part explores the struggle and rise of Christianity in Bali.
The first episode of Discrimi-Nation went through a year of on-the-ground research in Bali. Peter Batory, a graphic designer, and Kata Molnar, research leader, both traveled the island and developed the idea of documenting social discrimination while researching century old tensions between traditional Balinese Hindus and the upstart Christian Church.
With the research finished, Peter and Kata have put together an international team to make the first episode of their vision a reality.
The island of Bali is a land of many faces. Beyond the natural paradise, the local people have an amazingly complex connection between life and religion. Hinduism is an intrinsic part of Balinese culture and every aspect of daily and spiritual life.
But what happens when a low caste Hindu boy takes another road, going against the many generations of his Balinese Hindu relatives, and becomes a Christian?
This untold story of social discrimination in the 1950's follows one man's journey carving a different path in unknown territory. The choices of Bishop I. Wayan Mastra not only altered the destiny of his family but also influenced history. His controversial ideas brought elements of Balinese Hinduism into the Christian Church, and changed the theological landscape in Bali forever.
Our group have already collected the materials for the first episode, and now we need to finance the post-production. Future episodes will travel the world and explore different aspects of discrimination, like political, gender, race, etc. Your donation will make this project happen.
While the research and filming has concluded, there are many things needed to finish the production of Discrimi-Nation's first episode:
- Character design
- Storyboarding
- Animatic (moving storyboards)
- Animation: boning, moving, background, models and compositing
- Sound design: music licences, remixing, mastering and atmosphere
- Editing
- Office rental and facilities
