Manga Productions CEO Bukhary Essam
For many years we have grown up watching anime films. We are very happy to be able to co-create a feature film with Japan. “The Journey” is an example of how we have invested in and focused on the talents of Saudi artists. Young Saudi men and women were sent to Toei Animation’s studio for training. They later joined Manga Productions and became involved in the creative production of the film.

Director: Shizuno Kobun
I think this is the first time a Japanese director has worked with Saudi Arabia on a film. I feel very honored to have created a film about Saudi Arabia. “The Journey” is the result of what Saudi and Japanese staff members made efforts. It is a joint work that combines both cultures in at frames, music, and everything else.
