production and voices from the inside popularizing a new narrative humanizing hot button issues popularizing a new narrative humanizing hot button issues no meaningful change can take place without first building a new public narrative and changing the hearts and minds of those who put our elected officials in office for example policymakers did not pass gay rights legislation until a public majority demanded it and the public did not reach a necessary critical mass until the narrative of gay rights changed from one of disease crime and fear to one of love marriage family and equality at the heart of real justice reform are stories of love redemption and second chances why empathy closing the gap between us and them why empathy closing the gap between us and them empathy forges a path forward for us even when we disagree with another s behavior or beliefs through empathy we are able to identify the needs of ourselves and others we gain tools to communicate more effectively and can more easily find solutions to problems we never realized existed empathy is the stepping stone to tolerance and well being the bedrock to any strong community why virtual reality humanization like we ve never experienced before why virtual reality humanization like we ve never experienced before for the first time in history vr gives us an opportunity to more efficiently and sustainably change

in the u s prison system why prison why we re beginning the series in the u s prison system enhancing public understanding for many years our prison system has been understood through the lens of a

broader and more honest array of subject matters we invite a healthier and more productive discussion around the many reasons why prison reform is needed according to the pew charitable trusts voters are ready and willing to reform the criminal justice system in ways that reduce the size and cost of the prison system while improving outcomes yet for the families and communities most impacted by the prison system many will remain vulnerable to cultural biases stigma prejudice and general a public misunderstanding of their lives in addition to showing the films to we will show left behind to
