Kiya was originally commissioned by Al Jazeera America as a VR companion episode to the Fault Lines documentary Death in Plain Sight, which tracked the correlation between lax gun laws and domestic violence homicides in South Carolina.
The piece charts a harrowing episode in which two sisters try in vain to save a third from being shot by her ex-boyfriend. The events were recreated by actors wearing motion capture suits, and the environment was based on location and crime scene photographs.
Sources include interviews with the survivors; 911 calls made by the sisters; and police and court records.
