Escape to Shanghai follows Doris Fogel’s epic journey from Nazi Germany to Shanghai, China making a temporary home and a new life cut off from the horrors playing out in German-occupied Europe.
Filmed on location in Shanghai, Chicago, and Berlin, Doris's story is brought to life using 360 video technology alongside 3D environments, animation, motion capture and a spatial soundtrack.
Shedding light on a lesser known, but important part of the Holocaust, Escape to Shanghai captures the fierce perseverance of Doris and her family as refugees fighting for survival.
