Election Diary- A Tale of Two Countries


Election Diary-A Tale of Two Countries is a cartoon animation film created by artist Fauzia Minallah. It is about her moments of sadness, joy, amusement, and fear she felt during and after the elections of 2013. While it was one of the bloodiest election with hundreds of party workers losing their lives it also saw participation of thousands of people with so much hope. This is a tribute to the resilient people of Pakistan especially those who participated in this election with clear and present danger. With limited options available they decided with best interest for a better Pakistan. It is a celebration of this moment when one democratic government has been peacefully transferred to the new one.
