A trailer for the documentary GameStop: Rise of the Players explores the real-life David vs. Goliath story with interviews from the actual investors involved.
A trailer for the documentary GameStop: Rise of the Players shows how Redditors took on Wall Street. The fiasco involving the video game retailer occurred one year ago, in January 2021, when the investing community r/WallStreetBets noticed hedge funds shorting GameStop stock i.e., betting on it to fail. In response, Redditors flocked to purchase shares of the ailing stock, resulting in it exploding in value, causing several hedge funds to lose money with one even going bankrupt.
The GameStop stock phenomenon proved to be a real-life David vs. Goliath tale and one of the biggest news stories of the year. Soon after it occurred, it was announced that a documentary film was in works financed through Kickstarter and featuring interviews from the major players involved. GameStop: Rise of the Players is from the same filmmakers behind the Console Wars documentary, including director Jonah Tulis and producers Blake J. Harris, Dan Braun, and Josh Braun.
A few of these projects will likely end up reaching a wider audience than this documentary, though GameStop: Rise of the Players has the chance to familiarize audiences with the facts of the story and the actual players involved before it is dramatized by Hollywood. The GameStop stocks ordeal has clearly captured the interest of the public due to its David vs. Goliath-type narrative and will remain a fervent topic of discussion for the near future.
