A History of Two Peoples

1980•9m•Animation

A claymation allegory for how political and religious differences separate peoples into tribes who build walls to divide themselves from each other. Two groups living across a river from each other initially collaborate and share resources, but over time find religious and cultural differences pulling them apart. In the end, the bridge they built together has fallen into disrepair in favor of large brick walls on either side. Created by Bernie Fry in completion of his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree for Indiana University, Bloomington.
