We're Still Here

Aiden ShortCloud, a Two-Spirit artist and historian in Boise, Idaho, struggles to preserve and revive his heritage in a race against time. Two Spirit is a cultural term describing the fluidity of gender identity and sexuality with respect to traditional tribal roles across First Nations. Fewer than 10 Two Spirit elders remain, and Aiden’s story represents the struggle to learn, educate, and pass down their wisdom.

Part of the Oculus VR for Good Creators Lab, where we pair filmmakers and nonprofits to make great VR in the name of social good.

Nonprofit partner: Pride Foundation, a community foundation that inspires giving to expand opportunities and advance full equality for LGBTQ people.
