What New Zealand can teach us about reparations
As part of Vox's Missing Chapters series, the video titled "What New Zealand Can Teach Us About Reparations" dives into the nation's approach to Maori reparations, exploring a model for acknowledging historical injustices. Tasked with creating the motion design, Zed Zara (credited in the video) contributed to crafting the video’s unique visual rhythm. Staying true to Vox’s established “house style,” the animation uses a refined collage-based, predominantly 2D style to visually contextualize complex cultural narratives.
Produced on an intensive timeline, the 26-minute video was completed in 3–4 weeks, with the entire team rallying to produce a high-impact piece. The resulting video has resonated with viewers, achieving around 1 million views on YouTube. You can view it on Vox’s channel, with the crew credits highlighting Zara's contribution to the motion design.
