An immersive experience that uses documentary, 360 video, virtual reality, investigative journalism, workshops and participation to raise society’s awareness of human mobility and the Venezuelan displacement. It is about Agny, a Venezuelan woman, who decides to cross Ecuador on foot and by bus in order to find a job that allows her to get the money she needs to regroup her children. The immersion and the story will put the viewer in the middle of a family that yearns for reunification and, at the same time, will make him a witness to Agny's journey.
