Greenpeace


A stop-motion advert for Greenpeace, The Handmade Gift tells the story of a young girl who sews a mask for her teddy bear to protect it from air pollution—an unexpected twist on a heartfelt holiday gesture. Ending with a pledge to make our cities breathable, the film highlights the urgent need to tackle toxic air in urban environments.
