Virtual Reality, Immersive Storytelling and Empathy with Gabo Arora

This month, we are so pleased to have a conversation with Gabo Arora, an award-winning filmmaker and Founder & Creative Director of LightShed (https://lightshed.io/), a virtual reality and social impact start-up. The UN's first-ever Creative Director, Gabo Arora has over 15 years of humanitarian field experience, and has directed, produced and pioneered a series of widely acclaimed virtual reality documentaries (Clouds Over Sidra, Waves of Grace, My Mother's Wing, amongst others) for the United Nations that have all premiered at major film festivals around the world, including Cannes, Sundance and Tribeca. We discuss the role of immersive storytelling and empathy building in healthcare and society.
