Home - An Anglo Zanzibar War Story

By Claire

Description: Amina Samaha, a 12-year-old girl who lives in Stone Town, the capital of the Zanzibar sultanate in late August of 1896 experiences the Anglo Zanzibar War, which destroyed their apartment building. To seek shelter, they escape to a mountain. The city is now devastated by the attack. Amina becomes deeply saddened, but her Mother comforts her, stating that a home does not have to be physical structures.

You did an amazing job showing the fear, hope and resilience of people going through war. Its very nicely animated and I enjoy the hopeful ending. My only criticism is I wish i got to see more!
