Awra Amba - Utopia in Ethiopia - Interactive Documentary Project

From the site:

"UTOPIA IN ETHIOPIA - THE AWRA AMBA STORY

A NEW INTERACTIVE DOCUMENTARY BY THE FILMMAKERS OF THE SHORT FILM 'AWRA AMBA' 

“An exciting experiment in the use of transmedia practice” Brian Newman, former CEO of the Tribeca Film Institute.

“The best interactive project anyone has pitched to me here. In fact the only one that is truly interactive.” Alexandre Brachet, Upian France, at Sheffield Meet Market."

The Awra Amba Story is a 360° web documentary, in which the audience is invited to explore the Awra Amba village online through an immersive experience of 360° photography, 12 short documentary films, and a range of educational resources and discussion topics. A two-way Twitter debate is enabled with the audience and members from the Awra Amba community for a 6-week period following the launch.
