A binaural docu-drama experience which focuses on two kidnapping stories. But, as you become immersed in these true stories of abduction, are you about to become the third victim?
This documentary-drama presents a binaural experience which follows two very different true stories of abduction - one without long-lasting consequences, the other, devastatingly fatal. The feature asks if we are we blind to the possible risks in our everyday lives as, through the power of binaural surround sound,
Kidnapped places you in the victimβs place giving the listener the experience of being abducted. For the best listening experience - put your headphones on, close your eyes, and allow the 3D binaural audio to immerse you in a kidnapping.
