VR documentary film for advocacy
Night Becomes Day View 3D version in VR headset.
FILM SYNOPSIS:
Inspired by Theo, a local human rights worker, Sohail joins other refugees, artist Nakam and war-injured Ali, to migrate from the camp to create a new form of citizenship not previously imagined.
Through cinematic VR, we intimately share their journey from night to day.
A FILM FOR ADVOCACY:
Somewhere in the world, one person is forcibly displaced every two minutes and by 2100, 100 million people are predicted to be displaced by climate change alone, (UNCHR, 2018).
This is how it feels. This is what we could do to make it better.
View and become immersed within the 3D, 180 film.
Using headsets the viewer’s experience is one of “intimacy” and “being there”
There is flexibility to reach all audiences with option of screening in 2D.
