This animation was created to  advocate, not celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the discovery of insulin. Over 30 portraits of diabetes advocates were created for this project. 

“The discovery of insulin was nothing short of miraculous. While we certainly celebrate the discoverers and their gift to the world, we will NOT be celebrating the insulin manufacturers and their greed. We cannot truly and fully celebrate until #insulin4all is a reality, and we will not applaud the pharmaceutical industry for price gouging millions of patients worldwide for a medication that costs $6 to produce. Insulin was meant to be a gift to the world but has become a posterchild of pharmaceutical industry greed. We will continue to advocate and ensure that these companies are held accountable.” – T1International
