The Choice - Chapters 2 & 3

The 2022 Audience Award winner returns with two new episodes to deepen the conversation about reproductive rights.
Makayla, a young woman from Texas, shares her journey through two abortions shaped by physical challenges and life circumstances, emphasizing personal agency. Leigh and Dan, a married couple, reflect on unplanned pregnancy and explore doubts, decisions, and dynamics of shared choice, with a rare focus on the male partner's role.
'The Choice' uses minimalist animation, immersive VR and life-like volumetrics to foster empathy through intimate, conversation-like interactions. These new chapters underscore the diversity of experience and the universal need for freedom to choose.
