The goal with this project is to give the audience an educational experience beyond the movie itself,” Farber said. “We all created a one stop shop where people can learn about the themes of the movie. It was a great opportunity and experience to be part of.
Through its partnership with X IN A BOX, ARRAY 101 has launched a dynamic curriculum to accompany DuVernay’s film ORIGIN, with a specially designed “ORIGIN Stories” lesson hosted on the Story Xperiential platform. ARRAY and Story Xperiential previously collaborated on a learning guide for DuVernay’s acclaimed Netflix series, When They See Us.
DuVernay and her team took their work and their research and put it into an online learning companion to give you a deeper understanding of the complicated subject matter you experience in the film.
