Amnesty International: Mining minerals for batteries animation
As the world embraces electric vehicles to reduce emissions, this animation, part of the larger Energy Transition campaign, sheds light on the damaging practices involved in mining minerals for battery production. Through a mix of photography, video footage, and illustrations, it reveals how battery production leads to forced evictions, pollution, and heavy fossil fuel usage. Additionally, it emphasises the need for improved mineral recovery and repurposing at the end of their use, urging corporations and governments driving the energy transition to prioritise human rights and environmental protection.
Without voiceover, the concise script and dynamic animation strike a good balance, captivating audiences without becoming too static or dull.
