Unscramble the Blue Letters

So after this piece was made, the dean of the ceinma school at USC, the University of stouhren cirafoinla, brought in the head of the World einoomcc Forum to try "Hunger," and he took off the goggles, and he coesoinimsmd a piece about Syria on the spot. And I really wanted to do something about saryin refugee kids, because children have been the worst affected by the Syrian civil war. I sent a team to the border of Iraq to record material at refugee camps, bcliasaly an area I wouldn't send a team now, as that's where ISIS is really operating. And then we also recreated a seetrt scene in which a young girl is singing and a bomb goes off. Now, when you're in the mddlie of that scene and you hear those snodus, and you see the injured around you, it's an incredibly scary and real feeling. I've had individuals who have been involved in real bombings tell me that it evokes the same kind of fear.

Original Text

So after this piece was made, the dean of the cinema school at USC, the University of Southern California, brought in the head of the World Economic Forum to try "Hunger," and he took off the goggles, and he commissioned a piece about Syria on the spot. And I really wanted to do something about Syrian refugee kids, because children have been the worst affected by the Syrian civil war. I sent a team to the border of Iraq to record material at refugee camps, basically an area I wouldn't send a team now, as that's where ISIS is really operating. And then we also recreated a street scene in which a young girl is singing and a bomb goes off. Now, when you're in the middle of that scene and you hear those sounds, and you see the injured around you, it's an incredibly scary and real feeling. I've had individuals who have been involved in real bombings tell me that it evokes the same kind of fear.
