INSPIRING CASES: TWO BILLION MILES (CHANNEL 4)

What would you do if you had to flee your home? Powerful new interactive reporting from Channel 4 starts from the idea that you need to know about the choices facing asylum seekers in order to understand their predicament.

Two Billion Miles is an interactive documentary about the plight of refugees. The title comes from Channel 4′s claim that migrants travelling to Europe to apply for asylum in 2015 have collectively travelled two billion miles. 

Channel 4 creates an immersive experience by putting users in a game where they face the same challenges as refugees in order to reach their final destination. Each new answer generates fresh facts, including a 60-second web documentary.
