The title of one of the six marvelous animated documentaries from this year’s Animanima.DOCS program hides a syntagm that reveals the delicate connection between documentary film and animated media, in the sense of a permanent, fruitful discussion between these film types. This is, actually, a strong synergy, the effect of which will touch the emotions and conscience of every viewer, because these films talk about sensitive phenomena and problems (memory of war, serious illness, social inclusion, cultural identity, personal integrity, immigration, alienation, climate disasters…), open up questions, guide us to thinking about man in collision with his social and natural environment, and finally about his eternal discussion with himself.
