Reeducated takes viewers inside a detention camp in Xinjiang, China, guided by three men who were imprisoned together at the same facility. Using hours of first-hand testimony and hand-drawn animation, as well as Ambisonic audio, this VR film reconstructs the experience of being detained and ‘reeducated’ in an immersive three-dimensional space.
