Portaplay has helped produce and develop the award winning interactive documentary production Deadline Athen

You control a journalist visiting Athen writing an article about illegal refugees. You choose where you want to go in Athen, and who you want to interview – ranging from academic experts on the subject. to the police, to the park where the illegal refugees are hiding out. Along the way you choose which questions to ask in the interviews, and you choose what to write down in your notebook for your upcoming article.

The project is intended for use in school classes, where the children will end up writing their own article.
