Q with Jian Ghomeshi | CBC Radio: Fort McMoney docu-game plays out complexities of oilsands

Fort McMoney looks like a documentary, plays out like a video game, and pushes the boundaries of both. Produced by the National Film Board and the Montreal-based game developer TOXA, the game lets people explore a virtual version of Fort McMurray, Alberta, the face of Canada’s oil industry.

By using real footage and allowing the audience to interact with the real people involved, the game’s aim is to give people a better understanding of the complexities of the oilsands issues.

NFB’s “Fort McMoney” documentary game released online November 25 | MyMcMurray Portal

The National Film Board of Canada is announcing a new “documentary game” that will be available online starting November 25.

It’s called Fort McMoney, and is the result of over two years of research and two months of filming done by the Montreal-based media company, TOXA.

Over four weeks, users can decide on the virtual future of the city, while being educated on the social, economic, political, and cultural history here.

Users will be able to virtually walk around the city and meet residents, ask them questions, make decisions, and see how the choices play out.
