Debate about reproductive rights is often heated. But behind every family planning decision, there is a human story. The Choice is an award winning virtual reality experience that lets us see from a different perspective the emotional and complex nature behind one woman’s choice.
Meet Kristen, a young Indigenous woman from Austin, TX, who dreams of raising a family but instead finds herself facing a dehumanizing system working against her survival.
The Choice blends techniques from traditional documentary storytelling, volumetric video capture, and animation to redefine not only how we tell these women’s stories but also the agency in which the audience experiences them and connects with the subject on a deep, emotional level.
Powerful. The stereoscopic medium evokes empathy in away video never could. Combined with this young woman's personal account of her story, it puts you in the shoes of the people who are the victims of extreme state laws, such as the right to lie to patients and the tragic effects they have on their lives. People need to see this.
Elegant & Innovative. What a powerful story, elegantly executed! Really strikes a balance between the creative and technical components.The Quill illustrations are quite effective and the treatment of the volumetric capture is the best I can recall seeing in a documentary context. The piece is important now, more than ever and I believe it can inspire positive change.
Must see for every VR enthusiat !! This is an incredibly powerful and important experience. If you think you know something about reproductive rights -- trust me, you won't until you watch this one and talk to Kristen. This experience is a conversation with a woman (Kristen) who shares her late-term abortion story, but it is also so much more! It really felt that I talked with her, and she shared the most personal and poignant story with me. The way the experience is designed makes it so intense! The interactivity, the delicate yet telling illustrations that add meanings and layers, and allow you to look around, even live-thru what she experienced. Wow! It is not an easy testimony to witness, to hear. But it needs to be heard; it needs to be amplified. Highly recommending. Also: I am almost 40 guy. I watched it, and I think every man should watch it. It's not "a women's issue", and this experience made me realize how important it is for everyone. Thank you for creating an experience so powerful, strong, and visually fascinating. Must see!
