‘Civilization of Equality’ is a short, stop-motion animated musical that reflects the beauty of equality. Colourful animals sing spontaneously from their vivid habitats all around the world.

This piece calls for equality and harmony among human beings, and it reminds us all, regardless of who we are or how we look, that we have to live in harmony and peace.
