It is with deep sadness we are sharing the news of the passing away of Matheus, one of our participants from our #MyPeopleOurStories training in Brazil two weeks ago. Only 22, he had a vibrant and warm presence, and he will be missed by many. May he Rest In Peace. pic.twitter.com/oY2Zyh5IOB

While neither our team nor the Yemeni journalists involved could make it to #ONA18 to accept our award for Yemen's Skies of Terror, we're grateful our colleague @TonyKaron was there to represent 🙏 #OJA18 pic.twitter.com/pbKjk6gr5U

So honored Yemen's Skies of Terror has won the #ONA18 award for Excellence in Immersive Storytelling. #Yemen's war is among one of the most catastrophic conflicts of our time, yet it is vastly under reported. Shoutout to the crucial work of @AhmadAlgohbary & Manal Alwesabi! 🙏 twitter.com/ONA/status/104…

Rarely in front of the camera, Alan Bucaria has been our #DP for most of our #VR docs, including I Am Rohingya, Dreaming in Zaatari, Oil In Our Creeks, and more. This is him #BTS in South Sudan. Check out his past films for us here: aje.io/meeju pic.twitter.com/cxCo2OhaAR

Earlier this year, we had the honor of training seven young, bright and ambitious Syrian teenagers how to film their first ever #360videos. They take you into their homes, which happen to be in Zaatari #refugee camp. See their stories here:

Watching #360videos for the first time? On mobile, it's easy. Just pan/tilt, or swipe up/down/left/right. Check out our @YouTube to test it out 😏: aje.io/3wqn4 pic.twitter.com/HrcqvG36ko
