Prison Valley is an interactive web documentary about Cañon City, Colorado, where 13 prisons are located. The documentary was made by David Dufresne and Phillipe Brault and has since won many awards around the world.
This documentary is very rare, as it uses not only the web to show case it, but it uses interactive media that lets the viewer connect to it with Facebook or Twitter as well as letting them decide where to go and what to do next, all while getting tidbits of information. It even allows you to interact with other viewers through message boards and comment sections.
Prison Valley is one of the few of a new wave that's taking the world. Society is connected by more than one device and mode of communication and people want to have a say; they want to be included. This, and others like it, is the future of media. Constantly, things and people that get viewers/fan involved, are becoming more and more successful, such as celebrities like Lady GaGa who tweets, uploads videos and communicates with fans on Facebook.
