Fifty years before Colin Kaepernick, in 1968, there was Arthur Ashe, an athlete who parlayed his fame as the first black man to win the US Open tennis championship into a lifetime devoted to fighting injustice.

In Partnership with the International Tennis Hall if Fame, the Ashe '68 VR experience weaves together 360° video re-creations filmed at Forest Hills, the site of the 1968 US Open, archival material from the period, and evocative, never-before-seen 360° and animation to tell the story.

From the internal pressures he felt during the tumultuous cultural shift of '68 to walking down the halls of the all-white West Side Tennis Club, to his historic pre-match press conference and his winning match point, the viewer is right there, immersed in Arthur’s historic, transformative day. You are with Arthur Ashe as he becomes a tennis champion and a champion for social justice on the world stage.

Virtual Reality Hybrid Documentary

Across the Line is an immersive virtual reality experience that places viewers in the shoes of a patient entering a health center for a safe and legal abortion. Using real audio gathered at protests, scripted scenes, and documentary footage, the film is a powerful hybrid documentary-fiction depiction of the toxic environment that many health care providers, health center staff, and patients must walk through to provide or access health care on a typical day.

Across the Line premiered at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival.
