Awavena: A VR Documentary Experience by Lynette Wallworth
Created by Emmy award-winner, Lynette Wallworth, Awavena is a critically acclaimed 360° VR experience which seeks to connect you with Amazonian people who have ascended from the edge of extinction. It tells the inspiring story of Hushahu, the first female Shaman in the Amazonian tribe of Yawanawa.
Step into the Amazon with Awavena, a groundbreaking VR documentary that tells the compelling story of Hushahu, the first woman shaman of the Yawanawa people. This immersive experience offers a rare glimpse into the profound transformation of gender dynamics following her induction into the tribe's spiritual traditions. As the world faces the urgent reality of climate change, Awavena connects us to the Amazon's indigenous peoples, highlighting the vital role of women's leadership in the fight to protect our planet.
Through cutting-edge VR technology, acclaimed artist Lynette Wallworth and producer Nicole Newnham bring this powerful story to life, emphasizing our shared responsibility to safeguard the future.
Awarded the International News and Documentary Emmy Award for Outstanding New Approaches to Documentary in 2020, Awavena is a visionary collaboration that transcends boundaries and resonates deeply with global audiences.
