🎞️ About the Movie:
This documentary follows the lives of two avid arcade gamers (Billy Mitchell and Steve Wiebe) determined to stay on the top of the points list for the popular Donkey Kong game. Each man has his own philosophy and method of game play, both within the game itself and the wider society in which they live. Viewers are taken through the various twists and turns of this battle for supremacy, and are given behind-the-scenes glimpses into the impact that it has on the lives of the players and their families.
