Comments: “It’s well done, it’s ambitious. The pieces are all long — more like a short documentary than a single experience. The journey that the refugees are taking, though, is long and arduous. This storytelling reflects that. We are used to long scroll experiences in the vertical format, but it’s unusual to see that with video and photo pieces. When you see this, you feel like you are inside. That’s truly the difference between print and digital. When you hear and see people talking, that’s what makes digital stories so powerful and why this uniform piece works so well.”
