Since 2002, thousands of Chinese teenagers have been labeled “internet addicts” and thrown into psychiatric facilities, where they’re subjected to forced medication and military training. A new film offers a terrifying glimpse inside the system.

I interviewed creators of DIAGNOSIA, which is a really surreal experience virtually taking you inside of a Chinese military-run, Internet Addiction Camp.
Really powerful environmental storytelling & immersive sound design transports you into another world.

The running scene of DIAGNOSIA that Kent is depicting here was my favourite. It's a courageous piece, particularly because the #VR experience is based on director Mengtai Zhang's true story. Wishing team @diagnosiavr success at #NewFrontier#Sundance. 🥽
