Game Over
Gender, Race & Violence in Video Games

Video and computer games represent a $6 billion a year industry. One out of every ten households in American owns a Sony Playstation. Children who own video game equipment play an average of ten hours per week. And yet, despite capturing the attention of millions of children worldwide, video games remain one of the least scrutinized cultural industries.

Game Over is the first educational documentary to address the fastest growing segment of the media through engaging questions of gender, race and violence.

Game Over offers a refreshing dialogue about the complex and controversial topic of video game violence, and is designed to encourage high school and college students to think critically about the video games they play.

Praise for the Film

"Awesome! Every student, teacher, and parent should see this video!"
- Tricia Lea | History Teacher | PVPA Charter High School, Hadley, MA

"...Game Over is especially intriguing and well done. It blends nicely with the theoretical and sociological content of criminology courses and I hope to make use of it in the future."
- Joanne Ziembo-Vogl, PhD | Assistant Professor | School of Criminal Justice, Grand Valley State University
