The Mato Grosso State Public Prosecutor's Office wanted to talk about air pollution and health in a state that suffers every year from dry-season fires. The subject had to reach the public in a simple, relatable way.

What we did
We created the script and storyboard for an animation in which a child tells what she learned at school about the atmosphere: the thin layer of air surrounding the planet, breathing, Lavoisier's law, burning trash, cigarette smoke, the role of forests and the problem of fires.
The narration alternates with interviews recorded by Forest. The video went through a round of adjustments with the Prosecutor's Office team, with re-recorded interviews and added photos.
Outcome
In 2018, the publisher Editora FTD asked for permission to use a frame from the video in a series of textbooks.
