ABOUT

I creative directed and executive produced this fantastic awareness campaign – which ultimately led to political intervention in the region. From initial scriptwriting, storyboarding to directing the animation and sound design, I thoroughly enjoyed the project.

CAMPAIGN OVERVIEW: (including Spanish and English versions)
The tailings dams of the Mirador Mine are situated in the headwaters of the River Amazon in South Eastern Ecuador,. These dams hold vast amounts toxic waste and are being constructed in a manner which will inevitably lead to a collapse. We have a case pending in the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights and a case pending in the Ecuadorian Constitutional Court, demanding information regarding the construction of the dams and treatment of waste water. This animation shows the situation of a worst case scenario following a tailings dam failure which is imminent.
