Unrest VR is an interactive non-fiction experience inspired by Jennifer Brea’s feature documentary Unrest (Sundance 2017 Special Jury Award).
An immersive journey into Jen’s experience of an invisible illness, myalgic encephalomyelitis, the project contrasts the painful solitary confinement of a bedroom world with the kinetic freedom of an inner dreamscape.
When you’re too sick to leave your bed, where do you go?

Unrest explores the devastating impact of M.E.
To provide insight into this disease, the experience was presented in 16 cinemas, art spaces and festivals in England and Ireland, defining new relationships between cinemas and VR creators, paving the way for future collaborations between the VR and film industries.
