Video game to create awareness

I saw the coverage on NDTV 24x7 about another video game. A New York-based Human Rights group has created a video game called ICED, designed to create awareness about US immigration policies.

The video game allows players to walk in the shoes of an undocumented immigrant in America who constantly faces the threat of being arrested and deported.

"ICED or I Can End Deportation, video game that looks at the unfair immigration policies in the United States."

The characters in ICED are based on the case studies of five immigrants who were deported. These include Ayesha, a 16-year-old green card holder from India, who was deported after writing a critical essay on freedom of speech and the Department of Homeland Security.

NDTV 24x7 is an incisive news channel and it is a very good source of information for India-centric news.

The news channel is available in the US only through DirecTV. The TV service provider offers crystal clear sound & video and I have not experienced any technical snags so far.

Here is the URL for DirecTV:

There is also a Squiddo Lens on NDTV 24×7. The news channel is a must for Indians living in the US.
