On the Morning You Wake to Nuclear Threat: Exploring Social Impact through Virtual Reality

In partnership with Museum of the Moving Image (MOMI), Games for Change (G4C) brings the first United States museum exhibition of the virtual reality (VR) documentary, On the Morning You Wake (to the End of the World). On the Morning You Wake to Nuclear Threat: Exploring Social Impact through Virtual Reality offers the public an opportunity to view the award-winning VR experience while also providing insight into the film's creative process, production workflows, and worldwide impact. This captivating documentary, created by Archer’s Mark and Atlas V, immerses audiences in the first-hand experience of citizens in Hawai’i to make clear the fundamental injustice of a world where nuclear weapons exist. It exemplifies a human-centered approach to discussing the timely topic of nuclear weapons threats through virtual reality storytelling. Since its global premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2022, On the Morning You Wake has inspired audiences worldwide to take action to shape the future of nuclear weapons policy and get involved in the global nuclear abolition movement. By seamlessly integrating documentary storytelling with cutting-edge production techniques and a large-scale public education and impact campaign, On the Morning You Wake demonstrates how emerging technology amplifies the power of storytelling to drive social change. This limited-time exhibit will be available with a general admission ticket to MOMI. Audiences can experience the forty-five-minute virtual reality documentary for an additional fee. Reservations for the VR documentary are strongly encouraged, as space is limited. Same-day walk-ins are welcome, but we cannot guarantee viewing. Please note that the VR experience is a seated immersive film with some flashing light effects. Captions are available in English, Spanish, French, German, Norwegian, and Korean.
