VIDEO: Directed by Simon Wood and Meghna Singh, “Container” takes a hybrid approach to documenting the experiences of migrants risking everything in search of a better life, presenting their stories through a unique combination of virtual reality and installation art.

Through the metaphor of the shipping containers used to transport millions of tons of cargo each year, the creators wanted to shed light on “the circulation of commodities and people…trapped in modern-day slavery,” says Singh. “The very notion of slavery is when human beings are turned into commodities.”
