Announcing the documentary's world premiere, Benson wrote on Instagram: "Curiosity and Co-creation took us to Makoko, and the result was Noah’s Raft, a beautiful VR film about love, education, and community.
"I’ve known Noah for many years now, and his commitment to bringing light to his community through education has remained unchanged. We are proud to announce that 'Noah’s Raft' will be having its World Premiere at @newimages.festival, and I hope that through this project Noah can continue to receive the support he needs to keep his school afloat."
