Unfairy Tales is a series of animated shorts that tell the personal stories of Syrian refugee children. The stories are presented as sobering fairy tales narrated by the children themselves. 180LA approached MediaMonks to produce one of the stories as an interactive storybook to strengthen the connection between the reader and content. The beautifully illustrated storybook visualises Mustafa’s recount of having to flee Syria. Through symbolic interactions and animations, readers get a better sense of the harrowing adversities Mustafa faced. The final switch from the illustrated tale to interview footage drives home the reality children like Mustafa face every day.
