The Island of Shells is a 6-DoF interactive animation documentary based on Fred Chin’s testimony of Taiwan’s White Terror era. In 1971, CHIN, a Malaysian student, wrongly accused as a bombing suspect and a communist member, was separated from his family for a decade.

The experience is an adventurous folktale that tells a son’s journey of leaving and returning home in the form of Shadow play, where the audience plays both the role of a puppeteer and a witness.
