Check out this heart-warming CGI animated short film charting 20 years in the life of a Russian orphan, by the talented team at Brown Bag Films! Irish charity ‘To Russia With Love’ teamed up with Oscar nominated studio Brown Bag Films () to create a short animated film to help raise awareness of the charity’s work with abandoned and orphaned children in Russia. ‘ANYA’ is a four minute film that illustrates 20 years in the life of an abandoned child as she grows up in a Russian orphanage. “To Russia With Love initially approached me to do a short online advert, but after reading about the children in their care, we decided a short film would work much better. Travelling to Russia to meet the children was a profound experience and hearing their stories was heart breaking. ‘To Russia With Love’ break the cycle of abandonment and give hope to the children in their care.
