Burden of Proof is a short animated film about the asylum process in Ireland. It uses voiceover narration to remind audiences of the historical context for the 1951 United Nations Convention on Refugees, portraying the journey that a mother and son take in order to reach Ireland, apply for asylum and access safety.
The animation is the result of collaboration between FOMACS and the Irish Refugee Council and will have an accompanying information guide, serving as an educational tool to reach different audiences, including media; primary and secondary schools; and NGO outreach and community-led programmes.
Animator/Designer: Siobhan Twomey (FOMACS); Narrator/Script Writer: Róisín Boyd (Irish Refugee Council); Sound Designer and Post-production: Aodán Ó Coileáin (FOMACS); Produced by: FOMACS
