A 360° Short Film That Deepens Emotional Impact and Immersive Connection
The use of 360° and virtual reality technology in the short film allows viewers to engage more intimately with the stories of Venezuelan migration, experiencing firsthand the hardships of crossing borders and the emotional weight of leaving home behind. This immersive approach creates a deeper connection with the migrants’ journeys, allowing the audience not just to observe their path, but to feel part of the realities they face along this difficult journey—a storytelling method that has earned the film several awards and recognitions.

THE TEAM BEHIND THIS PROJECT
A collaborative social impact project
This short film was produced by Mycrom Films, a Peruvian production company dedicated to telling impactful stories, in collaboration with Plan País, a non-profit organization that strengthens and connects organizations, individuals, and ideas that help Venezuelans and their communities thrive, and The Global Shapers Community, a global network of young leaders driving social impact initiatives. Together, we decided that the best way to develop this project was by using 360° and virtual reality technologies, so that viewers can get closer to the lived experiences of people crossing borders, better understand their challenges, and connect with their experiences in a more human way.
