Child Protection Through Animation
The Undefeated is a series of 15 short animated films about child protection in India, inspired by the real-life experiences of children supported by TARA in Delhi.
These powerful stories highlight resilience, courage, and hope, showing how care, education and protection can transform a child’s future.
More than animated films, The Undefeated gives a voice to children whose journeys remind us that support, love and stability can change lives.
“Love, care and time, that is what truly makes a difference for children.”
— Arun, TARA Big Birds
