Follow the journey of the immigrants hidden behind the numbers

In a time where anti-immigration sentiment is growing to dangerous levels across the globe, this web experience targets those with undefined political ideologies in an attempt to prevent misinformed sentiment from building in the future.  It explores personal stories of immigrants and their journey to reach New Zealand, whilst acting as an educational tool to portray immigration accurately through data covering both its challenges and opportunities, without the bias so often encountered in the online sphere. When disinformation is around every corner, education is one of the most effective and important combatants to the fostering of misinformed beliefs.
