VR Free (We Are Free) is a short VR documentary which explores the nature of incarceration spaces, through some fractions of life inside the Turin prison. This sensorial experience looks into the relation between prisoners and the hallucinatory spaces of detention which they occupy day and night. The film also captures the reaction of few inmates during their brief encounter with immersive videos of life outside of prison. By using VR headsets, the prisoners get to virtually participate in some public and intimate situations, which are no longer within their reach.
