ECHOES OF THE JORDAN
Roy Kimhi
Set against the backdrop of climate change, this interactive 360-VR documentary follows the Jordan River—one of the world’s most sacred waterways—now on the front lines of both environmental and human conflict. Participants find themselves in an underground aquifer, where a soft blue glow—the twenty-million-year-old memory of a single drop of water—guides them past seismic upheavals, through lush prehistoric wetlands, and into the bustling crossroads once roamed by animals from Africa, Europe, and Asia. Racing toward the present, participants confront the river’s stark new reality—and a choice that will shape its course. “Echoes of the Jordan” immerses participants in a story of revival, where every ripple echoes the river’s wild past and its possible future.
