Our Girl
Writer, Director & Producer: Ruth Beni
Designer & Animator: Erica Russell
Production Partners: AVA (Against Violence and Abuse)
Forced Marriage transcends more than one culture and is prevalent all over the world including in the UK. Our Girl is a three-minute film aimed at getting communities talking about, and putting a stop to forced marriage. The film is part animated and also features dramatized interviews of women who suffered the consequences of forced marriage, all based on real cases.
Our Girl was made by Animage Films in partnership with the Forced Marriage Unit and AVA (Against Violence and Abuse). The Our Girl campaign national campaign is funded my Comic Relief.
For more information about this campaign and film please visit the Our Girl website.
“A large part of the success of the Two Little Girls campaign is due to the way in which it was designed and managed. In particular, the use of a short, animated film and the quality of the film itself were key factors in creating a product which inspired lead organisations to get involved with the campaign and which appealed to young people and other stakeholders.”
