Mrajeeb Al Fhood
A groundbreaking 360° stereoscopic video reportage captured the essence of Mrajeeb Al Fhood, a refugee camp situated amidst the arid plains, approximately 20 kilometers east of Zarqa, Jordan. This humanitarian initiative, funded by the United Arab Emirates, provided shelter for over 9,700 refugees displaced by the harrowing Syrian Civil War.
In this non-profit VR storytelling, the immersive power of video served as the quintessential "empathy machine." Its primary objective was to meticulously document the impactful contributions of Sharjah's Kalimat Foundation, particularly the establishment of a library within the camp. Beyond the tangible representation of these efforts, the overarching goal was to cultivate awareness about the plight of those affected by the Syrian conflict.
Engaging with the residents of the camp unearthed a poignant sentiment that resonated profoundly: "We don't need money. We need to remind the world that we exist." This sentiment underscores the profound human need for recognition and acknowledgment amid adversity. The immersive storytelling experience not only illuminated the tangible efforts of aid organizations but also sought to amplify the voices of those grappling with displacement, emphasizing the importance of global awareness and understanding in the face of humanitarian crises.
