For the waving flag in the first scene,
I used Cinema4D to create a realistic waving cloth in the wind.

The goal of the video is to showcase the ‘Starting with Women’ approach as a cutting-edge innovation that, if brought to scale, could have a major impact on women’s daily lives, and that or their communities.

In most developing countries, women’s land rights are not secure, and are weaker than those of men. Yet those rights are key to increasing food security, reducing poverty, and mitigating conflict. Current approaches don’t tend to put women at the center of the solution.

Women and girls have untapped potential to transform their communities. Securing women’s land rights benefits women and their communities, leading to higher incomes, increased food production, and higher levels of education.
