A Miscarriage of Justice, a VR docudrama which brings history to life by transported the spectator to the 1960’s to bear witness to one of the most political executions in Australian history, the hanging of Ronald Joseph Ryan. Ronald Ryan’s execution became significant in many ways and went on to contribute to the abolishment of capital punishment in Australia. When the spectator enters the experience, they arrive as the apparition of Jean Lee, the last woman executed in Australia in 1951. Minutes before the hanging the spectator’s role switches to that of Ryan and they are faced with the unimaginable.
