In the wake of mass shootings in the U.S. and around the world, there’s been growing speculation about the relationship between video game violence and violence in the real world.

Joystick Warriors provides the clearest account yet of the latest research on this issue.

Drawing on the insights of media scholars, military analysts, and gamers themselves, the film explores how the immersive experience of first-person shooter games links up with the larger stories cultures tell themselves about violence, militarism, guns, and manhood.

The result is an astonishing look at the wide-ranging effects of one of America’s most profitable international exports.

Features Leigh Alexander, Craig Anderson, Andrew Bacevich, Nina Huntemann, Sut Jhally, Elizabeth Losh, Matt Payne, Clive Thompson, and others.
