The Crossing is a 360-degree cinematic virtual reality film that chronicles the life of Uncle Rob Lowe, a Senior Elder of the Peek Wurrung people. Uncle Rob grew up on the Framlingham Reserve just outside of Warrnambool in the 1950s and 1960s during the period of the assimilation policy. The Crossing runs for 13 minutes and is narrated by Uncle Rob. Each scene contains a vivid recreation of a particular moment from Uncle Rob's early life, conveying the racism, violence, segregation, and dispossession that the Peek Wurrung people in Warrnambool were forced to endure by the Board for the Protection of Aborigines. The Crossing also shows how the Peek Wurrung people resisted this dehumanisation and oppression. The directing and scripting of the film was a collaboration between Uncle Rob Lowe and Will King. The Crossing was filmed as part of Will King's PhD research project.
