Fracture Tour is a journalistic, immersive, documentary "tour" of the economic, racial and ideological divides in Selma, Alabama. Navigate through a series of 360° panoramas of places in Selma – 50 years after the "Bloody Sunday" voting rights march of 1965, and 150 years after the end of the Civil War - with annotated interviews that reflect the fractured conversation about race in America. Some of these stories are uncomfortable to listen to. In one panorama, a supporter of a memorial to Nathan Bedford Forrest (Confederate General, slave trader and first Grand Wizard of the Klu Klux Klan) reveals sincerely held beliefs that underlie raicism in America today. The conversation is included not to legitimize the beliefs, but to be confronted, face-to-face, just as we experienced them in our documentary journey. We urge viewers to take the time to listen to all the pieces.

For the best experience a 3D viewer or headset and headphones are suggested.
