Dada! Animation has created an animated documentary film for the Musée national de l’histoire de l’immigration, located at the Palais de la Porte Dorée. The museum sought to offer a new online audiovisual experience to tell the story of migrations in France from the 17th century to the present day.

This educational film, designed for both families and schools, features a wealth of archival footage and previously unseen documents, drawing on the museum’s rich and diverse collections. Nearly an hour long, it is based on extensive historical research and scriptwriting.
