A powerful and important message, should be required viewing. My only complaint is that the app should provide subtitles.

Traveling While Black
About
Traveling While Black is a cinematic VR experience that immerses the viewer in the long history of restriction of movement for black Americans and the creation of safe spaces in our communities.
Academy Award winner Roger Ross Williams and Emmy Award-winning Felix & Paul Studios' film transports you to historic Ben's Chili Bowl in Washington DC. The viewer shares an intimate series of moments with several of the patrons of Ben's as they reflect on their experiences of restricted movement and race relations in the U.S.
Confronting the way we understand and talk about race in America, Traveling While Black highlights the urgent need to not only remember the past but to learn from it, and facilitate a dialogue about the challenges minority travelers still face today.

Must -Watch for everyone in Oculus
To sit with the people as they describe their various interactions while “Being Black”, is an amazing breakthrough in cinematography. While the stories have been told before in varying degrees, my three sons will see the plights of our people in a light that they just can’t see in a regular movie. Very proud, as a Black man, to share this with them. Well done by all and greatly appreciated.
