Owen Henry Animation for Bristol Bus Boycott Project

Firstborn Studios have asked me to produce an animation to go with a piece of audio that Mary (Project Manager) recorded in an interview with Owen Henry about the Bristol Bus Boycott.

The 1963 Bus Boycott leapt out of the work of the Civil Rights Movement in America and saw British and Caribbean Black people standing up for the rights here in Bristol by boycotting the segregated buses.

It is so great to be able to be involved in this project in which Firstborn are bringing back to life the stories of the people who were involved in the movement.  Here are a few stills from the animation:

This animation tells the story of the experiences of Owen Henry when he first arrived in Bristol in the 60s, in his own words. For more information on the Bristol Bus Boycott project have a look at www.firstborn-studios.co.uk.
