Love Radio is an HTML5 transmedia documentary for tablet and desktop about the process of reconciliation in post-genocide Rwanda. It tells the story of the popular radio soap Musekeweya, ‘New Dawn’, which tries to prevent new outbursts of violence. A multi-disciplinary project team worked on the documentary, which offers an unparalleled cinematic experience in seven episodes.

I built the very detailed front-end interface for both the desktop and tablet version of this experience, which contains lots of  fun HTML5 video, Canvas elements and UI animations. Love Radio can be enjoyed interactively as well as in a more passive, ‘lean back’ way that will automatically guide you through all available episodes and content.
