Virtual Reality production company Vrse.works<\/a> presents \u2018My Mother\u2019s Wing\u2019 their latest production with the UN highlighting the difficult reality of life in Gaza. The VR short shows how mothers spread love and support even in the most difficult circumstances – how mothers can be the architects of a peace and stability in a society that has deprived them of it.<\/p>\n

\u2018My Mother\u2019s Wing\u2019 was created by UN Advisor Gabo Arora, Vrse.works creative, Ari Palitz, and creative director and executive producer, Chris Milk, it was produced by Samantha Storr and Patrick Milling Smith. The VR short was commissioned as part of the UN’s advocacy at the World Economic Forum in Davos to state and business leaders, offering a unique perspective into the challenges and heartbreak of living on the Gaza strip.<\/p>\n

\u2018My Mother\u2019s Wing\u2019 is the third film shot in virtual reality for the UN, who is using the medium to generate greater empathy and new perspectives on people living in conditions of great vulnerability. The first film \u2018Clouds Over Sidra\u2019, which launched at Davos last year, was received to great acclaim, and follows a twelve year old in the Za\u2019atari camp in Jordan – home to 84,000 Syrian refugees. The second in the Vrse.works UN series is called \u2018Waves of Grace\u2019, and follows a young Liberian woman\u2019s struggle to thrive during and after an Ebola epidemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very proud to be releasing \u2018My Mother\u2019s Wing\u2019, our third VR experience made in collaboration with the UN\u201d, says Vrse.works co-founder, Patrick Milling Smith. \u201cThe films have been seen in over 40 countries and translated into 15 languages and has helped raise billions in direct support and funding. Shooting this film in Gaza feels like a watershed moment in VR. \u00a0Giving people access to one of the most cut off,\u00a0polarizing\u00a0and politized places in the\u00a0world\u00a0is important. \u00a0Our hope is that this film can also be about healing and hope. \u00a0 A mother\u2019s story is universal.\u201d<\/p>\n
