When: Tuesday, September 7, 7pm

Where: 6-120

Film Synopsis: Video and computer games represent a $9.5 billion a year
industry in America. Sony Playstation 3 is one of the most popular gaming
consoles in the market and many households all over the world own at least
one of these gaming consoles. Children who own video game equipment play an
average of thirteen 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.  

Discussion with MIT  professor Beth Coleman to follow.

Sponsored by the MIT Women's and Gender Studies Program.
