Forbidden Stories is a network of journalists whose mission is to continue and publish the work of other journalists facing threats, prison or murder. The film was made to raise money for the network with a powerful idea: even if you stop the messenger, you will not stop the message. What’s the point of killing a journalist if ten others are waiting in the wings to carry on their work? The animation shares the story of a murderer being chased by the stories of the journalist they killed – stories which were reborn thanks to the FS network.
