The films, which take the shape of immersive metaphoric ICE interrogations, help viewers understand the experience of strengthening one&#8217;s own identity and building community bonds within systems that foster isolation and othering. The project aims to weave a tapestry of voices and experiences, delving into the complex lives of the minority community members who have been involved every step of the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project is produced in collaboration with the<a href=\"https:\/\/saratogaeoc.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Economic Opportunity Council of Saratoga County<\/a>;<a href=\"https:\/\/publicvrlab.squarespace.com\/arrival\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> The Public VR Lab of Brookline Interactive Group<\/a>; and the<a href=\"https:\/\/www.skidmore.edu\/mdocs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> MDOCS Community Partnerships Program at Skidmore College.<\/a> They are supported by The Philadelphia Independent Media Finishing Fund administered by <a href=\"https:\/\/scribe.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scribe Video Center<\/a> with funds provided by the Wyncote Foundation.
