Long story short, watch this documentary. It's inspiring, beautiful and truly shows the impact of making a living from doing what you love.
The characters are fascinating and interesting, and the world simply captivating, but mysterious and dangerous and well. I really enjoyed the movie and recommend you see it. :)

We live in a society that thinks this represents us games. Where the f was the weed and friendzone issues gamers deal with. Why Veronica

The shots they got are dope. I am a girl streamer and I wish it talked more about girl's roles in eSports, but it does a nice job featuring three girls that I can relate to.Stunning visuals, excellent acting. This movie is just absolutely amazing, the best I've seen all year! Please watch it, you will not be disappointed.
Wanted to warn people against this piece of rubbish. There is some good information about gaming but there is just so much crap in this movie. If you want to make a documentary about gaming then do THAT. Don't talk crap. A lot of it is just these so-called experts talking trash that has nothing to do with gaming. What about the history of gaming? Show some more games instead of talking trash. I paid 4 dollars for this on google play and it is really not worth the money. Avoid at all costs. You can find better information online in free videos than in this trash movie. Someone actually paying for this would be interested in gaming not in irrelevant conversation.
There is a lot of good content in this video, but there are so many issues. The video starts off with a voiceover that "this isn't going to be a normal documentary" and unfortunately, that is the case. Supposedly, the video follows two rival gamers and how gaming affects their social lives, but that is far from the case. There are bits and pieces about these two gamers, but most of the video is crammed full of other info - cosplay, health impacts, first games played, parental limits, etc. The video is also disorganized. It may cover esports, then cut to a kid talking about why he loves gaming, then to a pro competitor talking about why s/he started gaming, then to Twitch, and back to another person and why s/he games. If you have 86 minutes and are willing to be patient for the info that is worth your time, then go for it. But be aware, this video is about a whole lot more than professional gaming. Not a bad thing, but not what is advertised.
