How ‘Invisible People’ Gives Voice to the Forgotten

Invisible People by Jean Ho is an animated documentary series that shines light on the lives and struggles of people on the margins of society, namely the stateless and refugees. Through short interviews with people from the impacted communities, activists and academics, the series explores themes of identity, belonging, and systemic neglect, while also highlighting the resilience and dignity of those living in the shadows. It’s also a great introduction for people who are completely unfamiliar with the challenges faced by refugees and the stateless.

In this episode, we speak to Jean Ho about her documentary.
