Mika, 14 years old, is chased from his home and finds himself on the streets of Kinshasa. As the story unfolds, choices are offered. You decide what to do next.
The virtual reality film Kinshasa Now is an experience where the viewer is immersed, thanks to a 360° VR headset, in the middle of the streets of Kinshasa while discovering the daily life of a street child. The film is shot in a real setting, with real actors.
With forty different scenario possibilities, the interactive version allows a complete immersion by reinforcing the feeling of proximity with the children. The viewer is active throughout the film and is confronted with the consequences of his decisions. The spectators are then immersed in a life trajectory different from their own, living a profound human experience in order to break stereotypes and promote understanding of the other. The experience also exists in a linear version.
