¿Cómo es vivir un genocidio masivo y qué podemos aprender de él??
El Grupo Global Nomads (GNG) es una organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a motivar el aprendizaje intercultural conectando a los jóvenes virtualmente con sus compañeros de todo el mundo y utilizando (en este caso) la película como un estímulo para la enseñanza de la tolerancia. En la película de GNG,Webcast de Siroun, que ahora se proyecta en el canal de YouTube de Planet Classroom Network, students from the United States, Jordan and Armenia connect virtually to talk about the Armenion Genocide. The young people reflect on their takeaways from a short virtual reality (VR) película, Siroun, that immerses audiences into a story from a rural Ottoman village during the Armenian Genocide.
Siroun was created to extend the central theme of La promesa, un 2016 feature film by Director Terry George set in the final years of the Ottoman Empire, immediately before the Armenian Genocide. “Lack of tolerance starts with fear – fear of someone being different,” says George, who appears with the students in the film as they speak about the importance of documenting history and acknowledging the issues of today.
Audiences will find themselves curious and empathetic to the people in Siroun and those who were affected by the Armenian Genocide. Webcast de Siroun is an incredible watch that makes us wonder how the capabilities of virtual reality can be used to further education and understanding of the world as a whole. As one student noted in the film, her experience “made everything more personal; it made everything more real.”
Le daría a esta película un 5 fuera de 5 estrellas. It was fascinating hearing the different takeaways of the students and their connections with what they learned through this experience. The film itself was very entertaining and eye opening. It made me watch the virtual reality film itself, which I also recommend checking out.
