The face of a person often conveys information in a manner that speech alone cannot. It bears witness to a person's identity, emotions and intentions. Facial expressions, such as smiles and frowns, can also give us an insight into someone's emotional state, while the gestures they make give us clues to their personalities. The "Voices" documentary series, therefore, supplements the voices of story protagonists with these crucial aspects of human communication. It features sufferers, victims and real-life heroes against a black or plain background to draw all attention to what the character has to say, his facial expressions and gestures. Through this approach, our audience will feel as if the protagonists of these stories were sitting right in front of them, sharing their heartfelt concerns and personal narratives.—Newsreel Asia
