‘Growing a World Wonder’ VR
Executive Producer/Co-creator
Virtual Reality

Pollen’s Founder served as the co-creator of 'Growing a World Wonder,' an impactful Virtual Reality Film that has left an indelible mark on the global stage. The film was a collaboration with the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification, Surround Vision and Venturethree.

This awe-inspiring initiative was introduced to world leaders at the landmark UN Paris Climate Summit, where it played a pivotal role in mobilizing an impressive $4 billion in support for the Great Green Wall —an ambitious undertaking spanning 8,000 kilometers and covering the entire African continent with a lush tapestry of plants and trees.

'Growing a World Wonder' stands as a testament to the Great Green Wall's journey, immersing viewers in a captivating Virtual Reality (VR) experience. The film revolves around the life of Binta, a young Senegalese girl, and her family as they care for their segment of the Wall. It delves into the challenges they confront and illuminates how the project is already bringing about transformative improvements in their lives.

This groundbreaking film was meticulously crafted using cutting-edge VR camera and drone technology, capturing both the grandeur of the Great Green Wall project and the deeply personal human narrative at its core.

Through our collaboration with the Great Green Wall initiative, Pollen has co-created a work that has resonated with world leaders and inspired the mobilization of substantial resources to support this monumental endeavor.
