Game Changer
Game Changer is a series that brings the stories of people from different corners of Israeli society, for whom video games are not only a way to escape reality but also a way to cope with reality. This is a series about people and their emotional experiences. The games in the series function as a framework for personal stories about facing difficulties and challenges. Besides being gamers, many of the protagonists in the series come from communities that sometimes feel alienated by Israeli society (immigrants, LGBT people, minorities, people with disabilities, and more). Game Changer deals with a topic that is relevant to all of us: how a work of art and creativity can give strength or inspiration to cope with life.
