My colleagues and I have written several times about how virtual reality storytelling is helping connect audiences to important causes in new and exciting ways. 

Now, Global Citizen is proud to present its first-ever VR film, The Global Goals in Virtual Reality. Click below to experience a 360-degree version of the film and see how the launch of the United Nation's Global Goals marks the first step toward a just, sustainable, and poverty-free future for all.

“Forget geography. We all live on the same planet, in the same space. Together we CAN create change. And now we must.”In our first 360° virtual reality film, take a journey around the world to see exactly what this could mean. Make sure to click and drag through the video to get the full experience!

Ryan Gall, co-founder and executive producer of Global Citizen, co-directed the film along with Stash Slionski of RYOT. Here's what inspired him to bring this cutting-edge technology to Global Citizen: 

"The first time I saw a Virtual Reality film, like most people I was blown away by the experience and immediately started looking for ways to use it for Global Citizen. VR really breaks down barriers like nothing else. It affords us the opportunity to see the world through a fresh pair of eyes. It transports us out of our small world and exposes us to ideas and people both near and far alike."

The film premiered at the 2015 Global Citizen festival in Central Park. Scroll down for a full list of credits.
