About

An investigation of the never-before-made connection between the Gamestop squeeze and the January 6 Insurrection in the US.

A wild, meme-driven ride where we meet the founders of Reddit and WallStreetBets, crypto fanatics, bored housewives and TikTok-ers turned millionaire traders. Disruptive tropes can help a disenfranchised generation to rise up against corrupt power structures, but will algorithms amplify our worst impulses, threatening the very pillars of our democracy? This meme-ified punk rock manifesto takes us inside the “revolution game” to look at where we came from and where we’re headed on the precipice of this new era.
