Gaming/eSports Documentary - The Gamer Evolution
Channel: Docutopia
Date: 23/07/2014

The Gamer Evolution is a 30-minute news documentary focusing on the 21st century social phenomenon of being a "gamer" including how that moniker began, how it became an epitaph, and how it has now evolved into the title of a thriving international sub-culture. Gamers are now heads of industry, shapers of social perception, communicators, and a prime market force in the 21st century global economy. This documentary seeks to find the truths of the stereotypes, examining the history of gaming, from face-to-face pencil-and-paper role-playing games, through the foundations of interactive multi-user online gaming, to today's world of computer- and platform-based interactive multi-participant media.

The Gamer Evolution also highlights several unique aspects of identity and community that come from being a part of an online or electronic world, and spotlights a group of gamers from a single online massively multi-player online role-playing game who gathered to camp, eat, drink, and enjoy each other's company in a face-to-face environment one Summer.
