THE CHALLENGE:
Create a short micro documentary/Movie inspired by the published topic.
The finished short can be LIVE ACTION, LIVE ACTION WITH VFX or ANIMATED. But you only have TWO MONTHS to finish the piece. The projects can be done by an individual but team entries are encouraged.
The key of the challenge, for all entry types, is to do an simply do a short. This means that the final piece will be evaluated mostly on the principles of story telling. My advice, keep it simple and work as part of a team.
The best animation/short will be selected by an open vote

The winner will get bragging rights and a small banner
designed by me.
