Through sweeping CGI and cinematic (virtual) camera work, the experience recreates a real-life rescue mission where a civilian aircraft crash-landed on a remote glacier.
Interactive moments let people participate in the mission and discover more details and first-hand accounts.
The documentary is made even more immersive through an ambient sound design featuring voice recordings from the actual pararescuemen who were there. Demonstrating a whole new documentary form, Into the Storm educates and encourages people to apply to become a pararescueman.
