The Golden Light Leads (trailer)

Thrilled to present a sneak peek of our animated trailer for an upcoming book, ‘The Warrior Within.’ 🎬✨

This project held a special place in our hearts as we sought to capture the powerful themes explored in the book: immigration, self-identity, and the struggles faced by teenagers. Inspired by the author’s personal journey from Afghanistan to America, we aimed to convey the emotional tribulations and triumphs through animation.

Our trailer depicts a young Muslim girl navigating a conflict-ridden environment, surrounded by smog and ash. In a poignant moment, she witnesses a falling and burning flag, symbolizing the challenges faced by her family and community. Seeking solace, she turns to prayer, and that’s when a transformative encounter occurs.

God appears to guide her through the smog, offering hope and strength during her darkest moments. It is a visual representation of the resilience and faith that can illuminate the path to self-discovery and triumph over adversity.

Though circumstances have changed since the project’s inception, we wanted to share this video to highlight the passion, creativity, and animation skills that my partner and I poured into it.

We are grateful for the opportunity to have worked on this project, and we look forward to future endeavors where we can continue telling stories that inspire and uplift.

English lyrics:

I look but I can't see, My vision is filled with Your Grace
I listen but I can't hear, my ears are filled with Your Sound 
I am blind without you
I am deaf without you
Stay with me
Stay with me forever 

Poem/Song written by the late poet Rumi.
