Filmed on location in the Netherlands, France and the United States, Rodi's story has been brought to life, using 360 video technology alongside 3D environments, animation, motion capture, and a spatial soundtrack.
Walk to Westerbork is a story of luck, defiance and love for family. Showing the capacity for the human spirit ro not only survive, but thrive.
