The brief
Explain where English came from to a curious audience in under three minutes, without losing anyone in dates and names.
What we made
A fact-checked script, a deep documentary narration and 40 animated scenes: maps that show where the language travelled, a running timeline of its turning points, and archive images such as Shakespeare’s Chandos portrait. 106 sound cues tie every move to the narration.
