Virtual Reality: The Hidden

Created by Lindsay Branham for IJM in partnership with Oculus VR for Good.

There are currently more people living in slavery than at any other time in human history. One such family has been enslaved in a rock quarry in southern India for 10 years—over a paltry debt of $70 USD. Indian government representatives, supported by the human rights group International Justice Mission, plot a daring raid to free the family. 

In September 2017, I worked with Lindsay to produce IJM’s first virtual reality film. A groundbreaking innovative experience, The Hidden, premiered at 2018 Tribeca Film Festival, and was a featured selection for 2018 Mountain Film Festival and 2018 AFI Docs. IJM will use the power of virtual reality to move viewers to empathize with the millions still trapped in slavery and catalyze thought leaders and global citizens to end slavery in our lifetime.
