Sometimes the best way to capture reality is to draw it yourself. These non-fiction shorts show inner struggles, forgotten history, modern heroes and childhood memories with the creative flair you only get from animation. This package was curated by the GIRAF Animation Festival presented by Quickdraw, which streams online from November 19-29.
