Description (in English): 

Testimony shares the stories of survivors of sexual assault and their journey to healing. Beyond just a film, Testimony is an advocacy platform to allow the public to bear witness to those who have been silenced. Testimony aims to tackle the obstacles women and men still need to overcome in order to report assault and confront the legal system.
Despite persistent victim-shaming and the discounting of their experiences, survivors are increasingly coming forward, empowering one another to become agents of change. The goal of testimony is to inspire those who have been silenced to speak up, while building courage amongst survivors. 

 

Testimony Project premiered at the 2016 Tribeca Film Festival as an interactive  documentary for Virtual Reality, and was later developed as a participatory WebVR platform. The project gained much acclaim following the #MeToo campaign, and was shown internationally in film festivals, conferences as well as a North American educational tour in universities.
