“An interactive documentary is a transmedia project that exists across multiple platforms and allows a non-linear experience to users. Unlike linear/traditional documentaries--an experience viewed by a captive audience that encourages little participation--interactive documentaries encourage viewers to explore the stories and geography in their own unique way.” (McMillion 2012)

Narrative Gaps Long (2007) points out that “the art of building
strategic gaps into a narrative to evoke a delicious sense of ‘uncertainty, mystery, or
doubt’ in the audience.”
There is no proof, other than memories of the town that once was

As Andrea Phillips proposes, audience interaction "requires or allows audience action to learn more about the story"
The audience must move through the documentary at their own pace
T The designers have deliberately set up the site to minimise the amount of ‘clickable’ items

Interesting Elements of the Site
- Utilizes audio, still imagery and video
- Has various interactive elements that benefit from a high level of engagement, but would suffer if users choose to skim the site.
- The video content would take around 30 minutes to watch
