Description: Testimony is an interactive documentary for virtual reality that shares the stories of five survivors of sexual assault and their journey to healing. Beyond just a film, Testimony is an advocacy platform to allow the public to bear witness to those who have been silenced. Despite persistent victim-shaming and the discounting of their experiences, survivors are increasingly coming forward, empowering one another to become agents of change and hope. Testimony is an interactive investigation that aims to tackle the obstacles women and men still need to overcome in order to report assault and confront the legal system.




Review: Testimony is an interactive investigation that aims to tackle the obstacles women and men still need to overcome in order to report the assault and confront the legal system. The goal of Testimony is to inspire those who have been silenced to speak out while building courage amongst survivors. Witness these powerful testimonies and help us shatter the silence.

Featuring a timeline to follow you simply look at one of the people faces to start hearing their side of the events and their lives at the time. You can then follow along that timeline to hear how their lives changed forever or you can hear someone else’s side of things once again by simply looking at a different person. The video dome hub looks amazing and perfectly captures the emotions of the people telling their stories.

I feel Testimony is very well presented and in VR perfectly captures the feelings of the people who suffered these terrible things. VR is perfect for capturing emotions and I can only give credit to the makers of it for executing it perfectly. Just be warned that it is a very mature subject matter and not something anyone under the age of 16 should watch. I expect nothing but great things from Zohar Kfir and his team and hope they keep experimenting on the possibilities of VR for storytelling purposes.
