AFP covers GONE GITMO presentation at MIPDOC

Agence France-Presse covered our presentations in Cannes in an article titled, "TV documentaries take leap into digital world":

But the upcoming though somewhat unlikely next digital space for documentaries may be the virtual world.

"Cutting-edge documentary producer Nonny De La Pena linked up with US professor Peggy Weil to create a virtual accessible version of Guantanamo Bay in the avatar-inhabited 3D online world of Second Life.

"Gone Gitmo", enabling visitors to walk the immersive experience of military detention, has attracted millions of visitors and sometimes violent reactions from users, De La Pena said."
