01 The challenge
Turning institutional progress into a compelling national story.
The Somali Civil Aviation Authority wanted to communicate how far the institution had progressed since its establishment and highlight the developments shaping Somalia's aviation sector.

By combining historical context with contemporary visuals, the documentary translates technical and institutional developments into an engaging story of progress and transformation.
