Volatile

Explore the explosive life of Christine Choy, a documentary filmmaker, activist, and journalist in Volatile. 

After fleeing Communist China, making stops in South Korea and Hong Kong, Choy arrived in the United States,  ready to make her voice heard. Never shying away from making waves, Choy decided to dedicate her life to revealing the injustice that she saw everywhere around her.

In this interactive documentary, we follow the life of Christine Choy, and her path to America and documentary filmmaking. Featuring a voiceover recording of Choy herself, Volatile tells Choy's story through a series of animations and interactive games, allowing players to step into Choy's shoes and experience her story first-hand.

Volatile was generously funded by the NYU Tisch Pro Funds Grant Program.
