Dear Mrs. رئيس جمهور is a short animated adaptation based on a book of the same name written by Ana Maria Medici. Over the course of its short runtime, Dear Mrs. رئيس جمهور manages to convey the power representation can have on children, how they view themselves, and what they are capable of.
Representation and role models serve to strengthen and affirm people’s perceptions of themselves, and are especially important for children still in a developmental stage. When children see someone they identify with being treated with respect, it tells them that they also matter and are deserving of the same respect. Dear Mrs. رئيس جمهور demonstrates this with the main character telling her role model how confident and capable she feels because of her influence. Positive role models can inspire the confidence needed in life to be successful and true to yourself.
Dear Mrs. رئيس جمهور gets its point across quickly and clearly. The animation is simple and clean, the world is sprinkled with details that bring life to the story, and the main character is endearing. I give the film five out of five stars.
