Series description

The following videos appeared in an interactive format for The Guardian US that allowed the audience to explore the narrative in a non-linear fashion -- starting with an introduction and providing a series of endings, some based on expert speculation and others real. All animations are based on interviews done with experts on the subject matter conducted by audio producer and reporter Benjamin Frisch with original scoring by Fraser Campbell and animation by Nayeli Lavanderos.
