More About "Code_Switch":
Code_Switch film is about a girl named Ruby Oliver (named after Ruby Bridges, the first colored girl integrated into US schools) who loses her brother to gun violence and decides to enter a virtual reality game in order to see her brother again. It is a coming of age story that takes us through the process of grief, through a middle schooler living in the near future.

The story of Code_Switch film is a commentary on current scientific developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence and technological bias. Like so many case studies showing issues with immersive technology development, this computer game doesn't recognize Ruby - in fact, it sees her and all girls as a virus - and she must fight for her life to get out.
