There's about a month left until The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 and our bodies are ready. If you're still hungry for more Mockingjay, Google is here to help! Lionsgate is apparently teaming up with Google to introduce DISTRICT VOICES, the latest campaign in Google’s Art, Copy & Code project to promote The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1.
"District Voices" is a five episode series on YouTube that brings Panem, the fictional world of The Hunger Games, to life through videos featuring popular YouTube creators. Each episode of the series was created with a different creator whose channel content aligns with a specific industry from one of the districts of Panem. The videos are supposed to provide a window into an expanded world of The Hunger Games and will deliver original content to the passionate fan bases of both the films and the individual YouTube creators! These videos will also be presented as programming from CAPITOL TV, the government-sanctioned television network of The Hunger Games.
Check out the trailer below:
