8:43Now PlayingLast week saw a series of antichoice protests surrounding the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. In Washington, D.C., protesters bearing photos of fetuses descended on the construction site for a new Planned Parenthood clinic. The protests forced the charter school next door to close for two days. A new project at the Sundance Film Festival puts you in the shoes of a woman passing through the gauntlet of antichoice protesters to reach an abortion clinic. "Across the Line" is a sevenminute immersive virtual reality experience that uses real audio of antichoice protesters. We speak with the project’s cocreator, Nonny de la Peña, known as the "godmother of virtual reality," and with executive producer, Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
