The human dramas of individual gamers are what really make this technically polished documentary so fascinating and potentially commercial.

An excellent human-interest documentary that unlike so many others has a genuine appeal beyond someone already interested in the subject matter.

Second Skin is pretty interesting fare. The film delves into some insane outsourcing to China that gamers are involved with as well as the effect the games can have both positively and negatively.
This is a well-made film that will seem revelatory to moviegoers unfamiliar with the huge, worldwide gaming culture. They’re going to be pretty hard to find, however.
