. Thousands of people suffered great injustice in Switzerland in the 20th century. They were deprived of their rights, humiliated and abused. After decades, Switzerland apologized, worked on the past and made amends. A historic success? Or a bad compromise?


. For this SRF documentary by Simon Christen, O'Neil Bürgi was asked to illustrate and animate the memories of former indentured child laborers. The task was to artistically abstract the traumatic experiences and bring them to life with subtle animations. The illustrations were drawn on paper and then digitally edited. Bürgi also took over the entire film editing and accompanied the production from the first meetings all the way through to the sound design.
