Exit Tales

There are no limits to a child’s imagination. It runs free and is able to reframe almost anything into an adventure, even during life’s toughest moments where all that is known must be left behind. “Exit Tales” is an animated series that fuses imagination and reality. It is based on the stories of six children fleeing their homes in Venezuela, Afghanistan, Syria, Guatemala, South Sudan and Ukraine, in order to survive. Through voice-recorded interviews, we dive into their journeys by exploiting the vast capacities of animation. Instead of re-telling events, we focus on their imaginative way of storytelling when dealing with grief, exclusion and hope while building a new life.
