00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,880
[narrator] Since the 1970s,
6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,160
video games have been part
of the way we play.
7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:23,160
Being individually,
8
00:00:23,240 --> 00:00:26,200
in groups, involving mental
or physical activity.
9
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,880
For leisure, to win or to learn,
10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,640
they haven't stopped evolving.
11
00:00:37,160 --> 00:00:40,560
Today, parents and children
are facing enormous challenges
12
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,000
in a world in which the Internet
has changed the way we communicate,
13
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,240
the way we relate to each other.
14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,240
A world in which video games
are changing the way we play.
15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,080
[Gail] We didn't know
what we were heading into.
16
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,000
So you're looking to see things
that might be dangerous.
17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,760
[Sonia, in Spanish]
His obsession is to find a gap to play.
18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,720
[Michal] You don't want your child
to read books 12 hours a day.
19
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,720
You don't want your child
to climb trees all day either.
20
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,120
They were born, like The Matrix,
to a world that's connected.
21
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,480
[in Spanish]
Children need to have their own leisure.
22
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:17,160
[man]
The problem is, how much is enough?
23
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,880
We can't regulate something
that we don't understand.
24
00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:21,360
This is the way world is now.
25
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,560
[girl] They don't want to know
there is a girl playing.
26
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,080
[John] Running or kicking a football.
27
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,200
Makes you feel you're there.
28
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,520
[Mathew] All he wanted
29
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,640
was be able to succeed
in this virtual world.
30
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,800
-[cheers]
-Esports is esports and gaming is gaming.
31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,560
[man] Society always has a problem
with a new medium.
32
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:40,480
Why don't we learn from that?
33
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,000
[atmospheric music playing]
34
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,600
[narrator] The shift from mechanical
and analog technology
35
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,600
to digital electronics
36
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,320
has created a revolution
that is changing the way we live our lives
37
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:09,560
like never before.
38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,920
It started in the '40s and '50s,
39
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,360
when scientists developed
the first computers.
40
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:22,120
Some of these computers were able
to play games like chess, checkers or OXO,
41
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,960
a noughts and crosses game developed
by British Professor Alexander Douglas.
42
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,240
In 1958, William Higinbotham
created Tennis for Two,
43
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,560
a game on an oscilloscope,
an analog computer,
44
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:40,920
which anticipated
later video games like Pong.
45
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,160
Spacewalk is a space combat video game,
46
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,960
developed at MIT in 1962.
47
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,680
It is considered the first video game
48
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,360
because it could be played
on many computer installations.
49
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:59,800
[Daniel] Video games didn't become
commercially available until Pong.
50
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,120
We had the Arcades first,
then it transitioned to home consoles.
51
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,880
The Magnavox Odyssey
was the actual first home console.
52
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,160
[man on TV] Families who are content
to let television do its thing
53
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,840
often find themselves at its mercy
for their choice of entertainment,
54
00:03:14,920 --> 00:03:17,720
while people who want television
to do their thing
55
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:22,960
entertain themselves with Odyssey,
the electronic game of the future.
56
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,960
[Daniel] And then we started to get
all the Pongs, and then the Ataris.
57
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,360
Then computers started
to kind of take over.
58
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,000
[Julian] You got Commodore 64,
Nintendo Entertainment System,
59
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,360
and then Sega Master System
in the early '80s.
60
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,880
That was a real revolution,
everybody could play these games at home.
61
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:42,720
You didn't have to go to an arcade.
62
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,080
[Daniel] The transition from playing
on your own or locally
63
00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:48,240
went with technology.
64
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,360
Back in the early SEGA days,
you had the…
65
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,760
the add-on that would let you connect
to the Internet and play with people.
66
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,880
[Richard] We made MUD.
It wasn't quite as…
67
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:01,960
all-encompassing
a reality that we wanted
68
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,320
because the computers
weren't strong enough.
69
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,600
[Daniel] As technology progressed,
as Internet became more standard in homes
70
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:13,000
with PlayStation Network and Xbox Live
and a lot of the computer play,
71
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,200
they started to really find servers
and waiting rooms
72
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:18,920
where everyone's connecting
through an online Internet
73
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,280
and you could find
other people to play with.
74
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,640
It was revolutionary.
75
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,440
Now, you didn't have
to know someone to play with.
76
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,320
You could finally start
to just wait for a game,
77
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,680
wait for someone to play.
78
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,880
[narrator] With the arrival of Internet
and fast connections at home,
79
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,120
the amount of time
children and young people
80
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,880
spend on digital and online gaming
has increased.
81
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,040
Some parents have struggled
to make this digital transition.
82
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,520
and understand the needs and interests
of their children,
83
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,720
the way they play,
84
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,480
what makes them happy.
85
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,120
-The new world they live in.
-[child] What the fuck?
86
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,920
The development of online gaming,
87
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,160
alongside the development
of social media as well,
88
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,440
has allowed this kind
of gamer culture and mixed with
89
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,640
the larger kind of trends towards fandom,
90
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,840
towards participatory media,
people creating their own content,
91
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,880
is making the games online and allowing
the communities to coalesce online.
92
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,000
You can see on YouTube, on Twitch,
93
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,520
on all of these platforms the ways
people are using video games
94
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,280
to influence a world that reaches
far beyond what they expect.
95
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,800
[Luzu] Younger people
connect better with video games,
96
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,760
I loved playing video games
since I was a kid.
97
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,360
It gave me a chance
to also talk about other things
98
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,880
and talk about my day
99
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,360
and connect with this audience
in a different way
100
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,400
than I did with my blogging channel.
101
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,800
[In Spanish] I used to be a casual gamer,
but then I stopped.
102
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,960
I focused more on comedy,
on making sketches, videos.
103
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:53,440
I wanted to start with a passion,
something completely new.
104
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,360
[atmospheric music playing]
105
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,200
[man] You put the heating on,
silly sod!
106
00:06:05,280 --> 00:06:06,840
[woman] I know, damn it!
107
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,560
[man] Why did you put the heating on?
It makes no fucking sense!
108
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,000
[woman] My goodness!
109
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:19,200
God damn it! Now she starts to say…
[imitates her in a high-pitched voice]
110
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:22,920
[woman gasps]
111
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,840

112
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:30,640
[woman] You will hit the floor!

114
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:35,600
[man] God!
115
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,640
[Andy] I noticed, when children play
video games and you interrupt them,
116
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:42,360
an aggressive streak comes out.
117
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:47,360
There's an unusual reaction,
not typical of that person you know.
118
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,880
[man, in English] There is often
more going on in the kids' lives.
119
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,360
The excessive gaming is a symptom,
not the problem itself.
120

121

00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,200
I mean, you guys are so…!
124
00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,280
[sobs] My God…
125
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,360
Why?
126
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:07,640
Why?
127
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,280
[Jon, in Spanish]
I threw the controller, it bounced,
128
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:18,040
a button, the L1, went under the table,
129
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:21,240
and the controller got broken,
130
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,480
and it seems something inside is broken,
131
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,480
and, when you move it like this,
132
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,840
it sounds like maracas,
133
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,120
like there's something broken inside.
134
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:36,080
When I tell him to stop,
he says, "No, wait."
135
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,520
That "wait" can be half an hour,
one hour? It's never enough for him.
136
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,760
So, when I manage to stop him,
he's very nervous.
137
00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,040
And he gets angry
and goes to his room.
138
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,880
[George] My mom's okay
with me playing them,
139
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,880
but she didn't want me to play too much.
140
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:54,920
She didn't think of their appeal because
she didn't grew up with video games.
141
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:56,480
It wasn't part of her time.
142
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,800
[Patrick]
We didn't see any harm in it.
143
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,800
While I was so young, I couldn't have,
144
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,640
but my parents didn't either.
We didn't know…
145
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,760
um, that it could be harmful to me.
146
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,120
[Vini] My dad said, "stop playing."
In my mind, "I had to play."
147
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:12,200
You don't understand.
148
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:15,760
[in Spanish]
His obsession is to find a gap to play.
149
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,080
We don't let him play on weekdays
because he has to study a lot.
150
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,640
[Marcos]
My mum says it's very bad,
151
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:26,640
but, if I don't play on weekdays,
I want to play at the weekend.
152
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,160
[in English] It's not necessarily
about putting the blame on the kids
153
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,400
or on the parents.
154
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,600
It's about recognizing the environments
in which kids are.
155
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:37,200
Family life has changed a lot
because of technology
156
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:40,800
and family life has changed a lot
because of how kids
157
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,200
entertain themselves.
158
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,560
[María] Parents get concerned
159
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,600
because they're surrounded by information
saying this might be dangerous,
160
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:50,160
how much time they play,
161
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,160
how these games are affecting
their social life or their life at home.
162
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,680
[Lucy] They could be an element
of moral panic about what they're doing.
163
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:03,040
If you look back historically, there was
a panic about girls reading novels,
164
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,000
you know, back in the '70s and '80s
165
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,800
because they spent time
in that, and it wasn't good.
166
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,960
But there is an important difference
with gaming, the social interaction.
167
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,240
You read a novel,
you listen to the radio…
168
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:15,400
it's one directional.
169
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,640
This is communication.
170
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:19,880
And that can raise an additional element
171
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,400
because parents may be uncomfortable.
They don't know what their…
172
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,480
child is seeing, but also who they're
speaking to or meeting online.
173
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:29,200
And that concern is real.
174
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,240
[woman]
How do your parents keep you safe?
175
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,040
My mommy says…
176
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,200
don't run with scissors.
177
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,600
They keep me safe away from spiders.
178
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:41,400
She always looks under the bed.
179
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,400
I have knee and elbow pads,
and a helmet.
180
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,320
There's no such thing
as a vampire who steals your clothes.
181
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,240
My mom makes me wear a seat belt.
182
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,400
Before you cross the road
you have to hold my hand first.
183
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,720
I could get hit by a car.
184
00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:00,080
It would hurt.
185
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,680
My mom makes me wear
gum shield in hockey
186
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,520
because my teeth are very important.
187
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,240
I have to hold the hand
when we are queuing
188
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,000
because people might take me.
189
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,440
Stranger danger!
190
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,800
[woman]
How do your parents keep you safe online?
191
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:18,080
Mmm.
192
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:22,480
I don't really know.
193
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:27,240
[Declan] We want to educate parents
and professionals
194
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:31,080
as well as the industry to empower them
to keep children safe online.
195
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,040
Children might come across
inappropriate content on there.
196
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,600
It might be too mature for their age.
197
00:10:36,680 --> 00:10:38,640
There's the risk of online bullying,
198
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,720
often children communicate
with each other on there,
199
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,200
and they might be excluded
from different group chats.
200
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,960
They might see negative things
about them online.
201
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,200
They might come across
abusive language as well.
202
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,520
[Julia] When you're researching bullying,
much data is collected on questionnaires.
203
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:58,760
It's not on the day, not the event.
204
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,320
That causes difficulties.
205
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:03,920
[Lucy] Accountability's an issue.
It's an issue for parents?
206
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,760
Is it the Internet provider?
The app developer?
207
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:07,800
Who is accountable?
208
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,040
It's not as simple as just
turning off your phone, not going online.
209
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,600
That's telling a young person
not to communicate.
210
00:11:14,680 --> 00:11:18,280
They've grown up with the Internet.
They first played with mom's phone
211
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,760
or on a PlayStation, which is
continually connected to the Internet.
212
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,280
You look at them, they were born,
like Matrix into a world that's connected.
213
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,480
That's where they want to be at all times.
214
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:30,520
It is a digital version
of kicking a ball around outside,
215
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,720
with someone always
ready to play with you.
216
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:38,520
[man] Get ready.
217
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,280
For something
you have never seen before.
218
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:46,040
A truly unique experience.
219
00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:49,520
Step into a new world of gaming.
220
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,760
The Gaming Party Bus.
221
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,800
We come up
to somebody's house and…
222
00:11:57,880 --> 00:11:59,040
we host the party.
223
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,960
[upbeat music plays]
224
00:12:01,560 --> 00:12:03,000
We've got virtual reality.
225
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,200
We can get…
226
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,600
like Just Dance.
227
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:09,920
But it's basically the best person
that is dancing and waving about.
228
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:11,640
You can do Pop Star,
229
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:13,320
you can sing into a microphone
230
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,200
and you can play loads
of various different video games.
231
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,640
They range from Xbox
through to PlayStation.
232
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,280
It's fully jam-packed
with nothing but great fun.
233
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,160
[inaudible]
234
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,000
[Harry] I like Minecraft.
235
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:27,960
I like FIFA.
236
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:29,400
Fortnite…
237
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,000
Ghost Recon.
238
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,480
Mario Kart, FIFA, Clash Royale.
239
00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:37,960
This is a bit unusual because it's a bus.
240
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,000
It's like a good atmosphere
241
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,120
Everyone's sitting
together on the bus
242
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:43,960
and at the same time playing video games.
243
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,080
Sometimes my mom
doesn't let me play this long.
244
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:49,200
The kids are so happy,
245
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,960
and it's for a couple of hours,
not all day so…
246
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,920
You know, they're going
to play baseball after as well.
247
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,160
We can have a barbecue.
So it's all part of the whole day,
248
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:00,760
part of the whole experience
for a birthday party.
249
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,720
When we booked it, I asked
if it was for single players,
250
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,920
and they said,
"No, it's very interactive."
251
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,600
When they're playing,
252
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:09,920
they're talking about
what they're doing and why.
253
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:14,000
[Emmanuel] When at home, your parents
are usually doing other things, working,
254
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,600
and you're playing video games,
everyone's doing their own thing.
255
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:18,880
But in a gaming party
256
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,800
they can interact, and later on,
when they're at home,
257
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,160
instead of being
in two different rooms,
258
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,280
they can probably share a room
and engage with each other.
259
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,680
Everybody gets involved.
If they are having fun,
260
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,240
I feel I've done a good job.
261
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,520
After we've done, we pack up,
262
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,400
I say "ta-ta" and keep it moving.
263
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,320
[gentle music playing]
264
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,000
[narrator]
Today, just over half the world population
265
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,880
has access to the Internet,
266
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,280
making it difficult for online gaming
267
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,480
to reach households
in rural and remote areas.
268
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,880
[Herminio, in Spanish]
It's a estate my grandfather owned.
269
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:08,360
It's a heroic crop on a steep hillside.
The slope is 70%.
270
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,920
I was instilled this passion for wine,
and we try to continue the tradition.
271
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,440
[tense music playing]
272
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:32,720
[Herminio] The island is still active.
273
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,080
We have an underwater volcano.
274
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:37,320
The people were scared.
275
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:38,760
Tourists stopped coming.
276
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,760
A lot of companies went bankrupt.
277
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:45,760
[Berta] When Cristian was born
was the boom
278
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,520
of the first computers, the Nintendo 64,
279
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,960
and the Game Boys
all the kids wanted for the holidays.
280
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:56,880
[Herminio] Since he was little,
when his brother was playing Mario,
281
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,840
Cristian was two,
282
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,960
he already pointed at
the TV and said "Mario, Mario, Mario."
283
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:09,240
[Cristian] I've never had a computer,
and I've always loved mobile phone games.
284
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,120
Before Clash Royale,
I played lots of phone games.
285
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:16,720
I even had emulators,
on the phone, for Nintendo 64.
286
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:26,560
[Herminio] On an isolated island we had
lots of problems with the coverage.
287
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:31,400
So, he was always trying to find
a place where the connection was good.
288
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:33,720
[Cristian]
When I started, I struggled.
289
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,120
Internet would go down
for two or three days and I couldn't play.
290
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,840
As parents,
we obviously worried, because
291
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,160
he played for hours with the mobile.
292
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,960
[Cristian] My father would get
into the room to tell me lunch was ready,
293
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,720
and I asked him to wait
and he was like "Wait? Come right now!"
294
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:56,360
And I said I was playing, but, then,
they didn't understand online gaming.
295
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,760
You can't stop it, you're playing
against somebody in real time.
296
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:06,800
Many times, they'd confiscate my phone.
I had to pass my exams to get it back.
297
00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,560
As he grew up,
it became more difficult for us
298
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:15,480
to tell him to give us
the Game Boy or to switch it off.
299
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,920
And he continued.
Always more and more.
300
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,560
I always remember a day,
we were home, having dinner, and he said,
301
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,160
"Mum, dad, I must tell you
302
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,400
I play a game,
and I may be signed up."
303
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:30,760
It seemed a bit impossible to us.
304
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,880
"Are they going to sign you up?"
"Yes, and a salary and Social Security."
305
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:40,480
You see he starts receiving a shirt
and a phone, and you start to believe.
306
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,680
[Berta] After playing
for two clubs in Spain,
307
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,240
he starts mentioning
that he may have to go to Los Angeles.
308
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,720
[Cristian] We played a semi-final.
309
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,600
My dad told me that all the people
in my village were supporting me.
310
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,200
[Berta] Some people there
don't understand the game
311
00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,280
But they're there because of him.
312
00:17:04,360 --> 00:17:08,240
We can shout in any football match,
and we don't know those people.
313
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,320
But we understand a goal
is when the ball goes into the net.
314
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,440
However, we don't know
what Cristian's doing,
315
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,440
but when he raises his hands,
because he's won,
316
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:20,520
we all get excited.
317
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:21,880
[man] KaNaRiOoo does it!
318
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,720
Six straight games, for Team Liquid.
319
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,720
Two beaches down.
320
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,000
[Herminio] He's become a pro.
He makes a living from it nowadays.
321
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,080
I think that he's doing what he likes,
which is the most important thing.
322
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,320
[Berta] He's working
and that makes him happy,
323
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,840
and he's rewarded
spiritually and economically.
324
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,280
That's all.
325
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:45,520
[Herminio]
When people see him in the news,
326
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:49,480
they think they should allow
theirs to play.
327
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,200
They say,
"And I was telling mine not to play."
328
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,080
And it's just one more opportunity.
329
00:17:56,160 --> 00:18:00,320
[Cristian] I didn't know what to do
at 18, and now with this opportunity,
330
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,400
which is something I like,
331
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,160
I'll try to continue being here.
332
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,800
[Majora, in English]
What that means is we're a neighborhood
333
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,920
that's considered to have
low educational attainment,
334
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,760
high poverty… The people here
are the best assets that we have.
335
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,880
We can create projects that allow people
to feel as though this community
336
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:28,600
is not just this place
where nothing good happens.
337
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,280
We did a lot of gaming tournaments,
338
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:39,280
mostly to connect ourselves
to the talent in our community.
339
00:18:39,360 --> 00:18:43,040
It was literally the way because
if we went to people and said to them
340
00:18:43,120 --> 00:18:45,240
"we have a tech job for you,"
341
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,160
even if people had the skills
and the acumen to do it,
342
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:52,680
they were so demoralized that they
wouldn't even say, "I could do this."
343
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:57,400
So we realized these gaming tournaments
were a great way to meet our neighbors,
344
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:58,880
to recruit for talent.
345
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,520
But they were also amazing ways
to build community.
346
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,280
[Eric] I'm under my business.
Leave me alone.
347
00:19:06,360 --> 00:19:08,600
I told you the last time.
Leave me alone.
348
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,520
-[man] Hold on.
-Don't touch me.
349
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,440
[beep]
350
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,320
-Don't touch me.
-[beep]
351
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:15,400
[indistinct talking]
352
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:19,960
[man] Damn, man--
353
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:21,760
[Eric] I can't breathe.
354
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,640
[tense music playing]
355
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:29,840
[Majora]
The whole thing was tragic, obviously.
356
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,040
It was just another example of…
357
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,080
crazy amounts of undue force
358
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,280
being implemented by the police
against people of color.
359
00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:39,560
An illegal chokehold.
360
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,680
It was not going to go away
the way so many other cases did.
361
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,800
When the officer who actually did it
was not convicted,
362
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,720
I think everyone in New York City,
in particular,
363
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,400
was on edge in every single way.
364
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,400
-[crowd]
-Our streets! Whose streets?
365
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:59,960
-[crowd]
-I can't breathe!
366
00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,240
[Majora]
We were afraid there would to be
367
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,480
crazy incidents,
violence between cops and community
368
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,080
and so we thought, "what can we do
to bring the neighbors together?"
369
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:10,880
[rapid gunfire]
370
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,800
We decided to post a Call of Duty
gaming tournament.
371
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:22,560
The precinct was willing
to doing it with us.
372
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,640
"Let's use this as an opportunity to show
373
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,160
that you're approachable, willing to talk,
that you're going to play."
374
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,960
We really didn't know
what was going to happen.
375
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,160
It was the cops who were playing games
with mostly young men,
376
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,920
all black and Latino, it was the people
who were hanging out together.
377
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:45,240
Gaming is nowhere near as dangerous
as many people like to think that it is.
378
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,120
And it could be used as a tool.
379
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,920
There was less
community and police violence
380
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,920
after the Eric Garner verdict.
381
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,840
And this was
basically a very low cost way,
382
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,680
you know, to keep the peace.
383
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,560
[Trump] We must stop the glorification
of violence in our society.
384
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,360
This includes the gruesome
and grisly video games that are
385
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:11,680
now commonplace.
386
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240
It is too easy today for troubled youth
387
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,640
to surround themselves with a culture
388
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:19,800
that celebrates violence.
389
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:20,960
[James] There's often
390
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:24,800
the move with
the media narratives to instantly
391
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,560
try and link a violent act
with video game usage,
392
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,720
but often overlooking
393
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:34,000
poverty, mental health issues,
you know,
394
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,040
social ostracization, things like that.
395
00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:40,320
[Andrew] When you don't grow up
with video games, you are very likely
396
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,640
to believe there's a link between
violent video games and aggression.
397
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,000
[Lucy] We see young people
playing violent video games,
398
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,320
and it sets in people's mind
this is a causal link.
399
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,920
But we can't say that
with the data that we have.
400
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,160
[Richard] When you look at computer games
and violence, what happens is
401
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,600
a major effect says
the people who play these games
402
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:02,120
become violent.
403
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,880
A selection effect says
that violent people play these games.
404
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:09,160
So it's a bit
like if I read a romantic novel,
405
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,520
is that gonna make me romantic
or am I reading a romantic novel
406
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:13,760
because I'm romantic?
407
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,320
So which effect is it?
And the longitudinal studies
408
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,520
definitely say it's the second one.
409
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:21,800
So we look at people,
410
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:26,000
then again in a few years and we see
if they have become more violent,
411
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,120
and they haven't.
412
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,360
The ones who are violent
are violent and stop.
413
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:33,200
This isn't to say computer games
can't cause violence.
414
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,480
Of course they can,
415
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,640
in the same way
television news can cause violence,
416
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,720
in the same way
that movies can cause violence,
417
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,040
in the same way politics can cause…
418
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:45,880
Many things can cause it.
Computer games are among them.
419
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:47,840
But they're not specifically good at it.
420
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:50,160
People who…
421
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:51,760
are worried about
422
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,560
computer games but haven't played them,
will die of old age.
423
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,520
That means that everybody
who's alive has played computer games.
424
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,160
They know they don't cause violence.
They haven't made them violent.
425
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:05,320
They know it's nonsense.
426
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:07,080
[swords clashing]
427
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:09,360
[man] You can't get off that thing,
428
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,040
-[explosion sound]
-Up all night.
429
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,320
[man 2] Stamina.
430
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,080
-Don't underestimate it.
-[shoots]
431
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:19,880
[swords clashing]
432
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,160
-[game sound]
-Dedication!
433
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:23,200
Let's go!
434
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:24,440
[propeller spinning]
435
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:25,840
That's just what we need!
436
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,640
[deep-bass sound]
437
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,440
[narrator] The British army is targeting
gamers with a recruitment campaign
438
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,000
that shows they have the attributes
and skills needed in the military.
439
00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:38,920
The Army wants to show
it can see potential
440
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,640
beyond the stereotypes
of millennials and Generation Z.
441
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,960
[in Spanish]
The world of leisure and video games
442
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:50,800
has a lot of career possibilities,
not just playing.
443
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:52,200
The video game is culture.
444
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,480
And it's also an industry hiring
professionals form other cultural areas,
445
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:02,240
professionals from the world of cinema,
of music, people coming from literature.
446
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,840
Making games, uh,
447
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,120
is a very different experience
448
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:09,560
than just being good at playing a game.
449
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,480
That said,
if you know a lot about playing games,
450
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,640
that kind of skills
can translate to game design.
451
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,080
To be a game developer,
you have to be a really good programmer
452
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:23,160
or engineer or a really good artist
453
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,560
or a really good musician, for instance.
454
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,000
[atmospheric music playing]
455
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,920
[Gail] Johnny was diagnosed with speech
and language disorder when he was four.
456
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,760
He did struggle at school.
457
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:48,320
He did feel…
different to everybody else.
458
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,760
And obviously couldn't keep up
with the lessons.
459
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,320
I had ear problems which stopped me
460
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,320
from pretty much listening as we do today.
461
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,240
[Gail] He'd heard
as though he was underwater.
462
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:00,760
Everything was muffled.
463
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,400
He was slightly ostracized
by other kids.
464
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,000
He was bullied as well. So…
465
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,280
life wasn't easy for Johnny.
466
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,520
[Gail] When he woke up from his operation,
it was like walking into a new world.
467
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,800
The realization
that he could hear properly was--
468
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,800
I can remember the look on his face.
469
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,120
It was like he'd woken up
in a completely different world.
470
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,960
He liked playing with his friends,
but he also liked to retreat,
471
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,800
and that's where games came in.
472
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,800
He used to play a lot of video games.
473
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:37,400
[Johnny] Mario came out,
474
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,560
and such a simple game
of a little Italian guy
475
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,040
just jumping up and down,
hitting the walls…
476
00:25:44,120 --> 00:25:45,720
The music was incredible.
477
00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:48,880
Just, you know, very midi,
all retro sounding.
478
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:52,200
It had this sort of drill.
You wanted to keep playing it.
479
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,680
[Gail] He always was attracted to games
that had some form of musical.
480
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,560
When he was nine,
we got him a drum kit.
481
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:02,400
[epic music playing]
482
00:26:06,120 --> 00:26:07,960
[Johnny] I grew up loving Star Wars,
483
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,440
and I remember
the Luke Skywalker theme tune.
484
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,080
Like, when that plays,
you're just like, "Wow."
485
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,120
When I was playing, I felt I was more
part of it, more connected with the music.
486
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,680
I can now actually
become the character with it.
487
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,840
This was something that's completely
just changed my life. I…
488
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:25,520
Like…
489
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,400
"This is what I want to do.
I really want to write music
490
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,120
that tells the story."
491
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,160
[epic music continues]
492
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:41,680
[Johnny] Writing for games opened me
an opportunity to get into film and TV.
493
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:46,920
There's not a huge difference
with film, TV and games.
494
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,480
It all comes down to,
495
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,920
again, creating
the soundscape of the story.
496
00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:56,160
When you've got the idea
of the concept of the music
497
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,360
and you're on this long journey
with the developers
498
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:01,400
and you're building
the music as if you're in the game.
499
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,280
You go in there because you want
to get away from reality
500
00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:07,160
of what's going on in the real world
501
00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,080
and being in sort of an adventure and the…
502
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:12,680
the music always takes you
on board with that.
503
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,000
[Gail] Most of it is done
with his own strength.
504
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,280
He can do anything he wants,
and he does it.
505
00:27:18,360 --> 00:27:20,960
I'm extremely proud of him.
And I love him.
506
00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:28,000
[intense music plays]
507
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:29,040
[birds chirping]
508
00:27:29,120 --> 00:27:32,720
[Renzo] My dad bought…
I think it was the PlayStation,
509
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:34,080
it was FIFA 98.
510
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:36,080
I played football as well.
511
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,360
I was working my way up
almost to maybe
512
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:40,760
even having a chance of becoming a pro.
513
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:43,960
But I got a really bad injury
with my ankle,
514
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,760
and that's where I started
to game a lot more.
515
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,360
[Kilian in Spanish] Played in Las Palmas.
My knee was injured. I had to give up.
516
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,040
And, then, my escape route
was FIFA, on console.
517
00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,080
I injured my knee. I broke a ligament
and my meniscus. I had to give up.
518
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:03,520
[Renzo] My father wanted me
to play for Ajax,
519
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,680
but I'm at Fortuna Sittard.
He said, "If you think you can do it,
520
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,560
if you want to chase that dream,
I mean, go for it."
521
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,840
[narrator] The FIFA eWorld Cup
takes place each year and is growing fast,
522
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:21,760
with more than 20 million players
around the world
523
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:24,000
trying to qualify for the finals
524
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,080
and viewing figures of over 47 million.
525
00:28:28,680 --> 00:28:31,320
Digital matches are also
starting to take place
526
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,440
alongside real matches
in top football leagues
527
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,360
and between national teams.
528
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:42,760
[In Spanish] We went to play to Norway
and Sweden with the Spain national team.
529
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,120
They played football
and we played esports.
530
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:51,560
It was very moving and significant,
football and games getting closer.
531
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,880
The new generations are very excited
with football but crazy about video games.
532
00:28:57,960 --> 00:29:01,560
[Fernando] Many children playing
League of Legends don't like football,
533
00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:06,520
They can't accept that a 90-minute match
may end up in a goalless draw.
534
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,840
In League of Legends,
in 30 minutes, they kill dragons,
535
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:14,160
fight mighty monsters
and other players.
536
00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:16,280
You're sure there will be action.
537
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,280
The great challenge for clubs and leagues
538
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,600
is to make this become an ally.
539
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:24,880
They don't follow different paths.
540
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,240
[Fernando] In video-game design's world,
there are two trends: the free-to-play,
541
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:40,400
which are these games you play for free
and then you can buy little things,
542
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,000
and then the perversion of this model,
543
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:46,600
called pay-to-win,
in which you have to pay to be better.
544
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:52,040
FIFA is pay-to-win. You have to pay,
not to win, but to compete.
545
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,200
Within the game,
there are envelopes with cards,
546
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,680
and you need to use
real money to open them.
547
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:02,480
If you're lucky, you get good players,
if not, you get average players.
548
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:05,800
[In English] Gambling in gaming
has been a problem now for years.
549
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:10,120
It's got even worse due to the invention
of these things called "loot boxes."
550
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:12,520
Companies describe them
as surprise mechanics,
551
00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,440
euphemism for "you buy something
and don't know what you'll get."
552
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:19,840
There's a box you can find within the game
and you pay the money
553
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,720
hoping to get the best items. For example,
a new skin or a different type of gun.
554
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,440
You pay the money
and you watch the thing go around
555
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,760
in the same way
you'd watch a fruit machine.
556
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,480
In the end, something pops out,
and it might be what you want or not.
557
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,320
If you don't get it that time, you'll go
and do it another time and another.
558
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,480
There are people who've spent hundreds,
thousands trying to get items they want.
559
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,240
[In Spanish]
There are +12 games with these dynamics,
560
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:47,720
and I think that games
that have this kind of loot boxes
561
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,920
should automatically
be considered +18, right away.
562
00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:57,200
Besides, they shouldn't pay taxes
as a video game but as a game of chance.
563
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,440
[Richard, in English]
Companies have to make money.
564
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,080
But there are other ways of making it
565
00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:06,000
that don't include tricking people
into playing for psychological reasons,
566
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,800
to do with addiction or to do
with reinforcement or anything like that.
567
00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:13,360
They want people to play them
because they're fun.
568
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,240
[Jan] The industry needs to realize
what's been going on.
569
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,040
And of course, the companies,
they have to make money
570
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,520
and for millions of teenagers,
they are also there for the good.
571
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,880
But we can't close our eyes
for the other side.
572
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:31,320
And the other side is serious.
Is thousands of kids, at this moment,
573
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:33,840
who are just not getting a normal life.
574
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,600
[gentle music playing]
575
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:48,880
[Vini] I always felt disconnected,
far away from my family, my friends…
576
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,360
Games gave me this escape,
this relief.
577
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,880
It was something… I couldn't get this
joy from anything else in my life.
578
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:58,880
You start to like to…
579
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:03,680
to see that he's hiding behind the…
580
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:05,480
the game.
581
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,080
[Vini] I refused to go out
582
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:10,000
of my bedroom.
583
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,480
I was too scared to make connections.
584
00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,520
I didn't know how to make them.
585
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,200
You start to feel the…
586
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:20,720
the size of the problem
when you start to lose the dialogue.
587
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:22,080
When…
588
00:32:23,160 --> 00:32:24,160
you cannot…
589
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:26,640
interact that much anymore.
590
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:33,360
[Patrick] I was in denial.
I blamed my anxiety and my depression.
591
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,520
I know I talked with my dad about it,
and he was like,
592
00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:39,000
"What's going on?" I was like,
593
00:32:39,080 --> 00:32:42,200
"I don't know what's going on.
I just know that
594
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,800
I can't manage it anymore.
Something is stopping me and…
595
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:48,160
uh, I feel helpless."
596
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:53,760
The first action
is to admit you have a problem
597
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:56,200
and you can't solve the problem yourself.
598
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,280
And most kids are aware of the problem,
599
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,280
but the solution they found
600
00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:03,320
is one that doesn't work.
601
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,200
[Jan] It can be with using cocaine
and drinking alcohol,
602
00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,280
cutting themselves,
harming themselves,
603
00:33:10,360 --> 00:33:13,680
isolating themselves, and also,
playing a lot of video games,
604
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,480
up to 15 to 18 hours a day.
605
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,160
Gaming behavior
becomes a disorder
606
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:24,800
when there is impaired control
over gaming.
607
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,000
The person's internal controls are weak,
608
00:33:28,080 --> 00:33:31,720
and also there is
increased priority to gaming
609
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:33,080
as a behavior
610
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:35,520
compared to other activities in life.
611
00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:38,680
Not going to school anymore,
not going to your sports club,
612
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,640
uh, not connecting with your family,
friends anymore.
613
00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,520
So it takes over your life.
614
00:33:44,600 --> 00:33:46,680
Instead of a how much question,
615
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:49,360
the much more important one
is a why question.
616
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:51,520
So why are you playing a video game?
617
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,360
And fundamentally, the question is,
618
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,240
are you playing it
because you feel like you want to?
619
00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:58,440
Is it a choice?
620
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:03,360
Or are you feeling that you're playing
because you feel like you have to?
621
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,360
A sense of compulsion.
A sense of obsession.
622
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:11,280
[Vini] At first, I thought it was just
because I was depressed
623
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,080
and because I was anxious a lot,
I was very anxious.
624
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:18,360
But later I found out,
you know, I'm an addict.
625
00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:26,760
[Jan] The moment they feel safe and secure
to start sharing the real problems,
626
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,800
their traumas, their anxiety,
their depression, etc.,
627
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:33,560
we confront them to make sure
the change in their behavior is coming.
628
00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,720
I came out no more games.
629
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,360
I asked my parents
to remove my computer or my…
630
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:40,320
my consoles, all of that.
631
00:34:40,400 --> 00:34:44,000
[Rubens] He followed the advice.
It depends a lot of…
632
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:46,240
your will.
633
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,280
Your determination,
and I think he has been very determined.
634
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:58,040
[Jan] If teenagers and young adults
find the right balance of playing
635
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,920
like 40, 50, 60, 70 hours a week
by training
636
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:04,080
and going to their next tournament
637
00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:06,920
so they can make
a lot of money or become even better,
638
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:10,880
what's the difference between that
or a professional football player?
639
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:12,160
I don't see a big difference.
640
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:14,800
We never had
641
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,080
a kid coming in here
642
00:35:17,160 --> 00:35:20,680
who was also a baseball player.
We never had that. Never.
643
00:35:20,760 --> 00:35:23,960
Because they are being coached,
they are being trained.
644
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:28,440
Maybe they even have parents
who are motivating them or helping them.
645
00:35:28,520 --> 00:35:32,160
Um, it's the other ones.
It's the ones who are isolated.
646
00:35:32,240 --> 00:35:34,840
It's the ones you don't hear,
the ones you don't see
647
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:37,040
um, but who are always there online.
648
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,960
[María] The red light is to not know
what your child is doing.
649
00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:51,800
Not know what games he's using,
Not know how many hours he plays.
650
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,680
There's a lot of misunderstanding
about gaming within the families,
651
00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,480
and a lot of parents
really don't know how to…
652
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:01,320
educate their own children.
653
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:05,560
How to teach them to cope with gaming
within their lives, within their homes.
654
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:08,080
[Marcos, in Spanish]
There's no real evidence
655
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,520
showing the use of video games or tablets
656
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:14,080
can be negative for the development
of a child or of a child's brain.
657
00:36:14,160 --> 00:36:18,000
It's the acquisition of a new ability,
that can be somewhat enriching.
658
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:21,280
Having said that,
the problem is the time limit.
659
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,440
How much time does a child spend
with a tablet or video game?
660
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:26,720
That's what we need to limit.
661
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,040
Because if they play too much,
662
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:32,760
they're not doing other things
essential for their natural development,
663
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:38,720
such as playing with other kids,
interact with objects, practice sport.
664
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,880
[Michal, in English] As a parent,
you're responsible for making sure that
665
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:43,720
the life of your child is balanced.
666
00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,880
You don't want your child
to read books 12 hours a day.
667
00:36:46,960 --> 00:36:49,880
You don't want your child
to climb trees all day either.
668
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,480
[in Spanish] The problem is
the sedentary lifestyle, not just
669
00:36:53,560 --> 00:36:58,400
not doing sports,
but the time we are sitting down,
670
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:02,280
whether we're playing video games,
watching a series,
671
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,600
or sitting down
working very long hours.
672
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:08,080
This has a negative impact
on our health.
673
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:17,200
[George] There was a time
I was in a very dark place.
674
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,480
It was very hard for me to…
675
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:20,920
enjoy life in general,
676
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:25,680
and I just had issues at home,
just issues with myself internally.
677
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,760
Where it became to a point where…
678
00:37:28,360 --> 00:37:31,120
I at some point was diagnosed
with major depression,
679
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:35,000
and it was very hard to just
even get up in the bed in the morning.
680
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,840
Things like suicidal ideation,
things like that. I had a lot of issues.
681
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:42,800
I feel like I wouldn't be here today
if it wasn't for video games.
682
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,200
And the people I met
through them as well.
683
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:47,600
[Steven] When I met him,
he was very young.
684
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,640
He was probably like 15, 16 or so.
685
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:56,280
But always smiling, like he always
wants to have a good time and laugh.
686
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,720
He loves playing these games.
687
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:02,840
It's really like a part of him.
And you can see when he plays
688
00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,800
how happy he is while doing it.
689
00:38:04,880 --> 00:38:07,240
[George]
In NYC, in his neighborhood,
690
00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:10,280
they didn't have a computer,
691
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:14,240
you know, computer, video store
or anything like that.
692
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:18,320
So, he found a place in New Jersey.
And, you know…
693
00:38:18,880 --> 00:38:21,560
I figured since he wasn't playing sports,
694
00:38:21,640 --> 00:38:23,800
it would be good for him to at least
695
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:28,400
do some type of competition
to improve his self-esteem.
696
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:32,000
Once a week, I took him
over there from Friday's,
697
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:37,400
and, you know, from there
he had his first competition
698
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,480
you know,
like his first live competition.
699
00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,920
[Aziza] He was like, you know,
really withdrawn, really quiet.
700
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:47,600
But the more he traveled,
the more of himself became to be, like…
701
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,880
He started to believe in himself more,
and I tried…
702
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:52,880
And I pushed him more and more because
703
00:38:52,960 --> 00:38:55,440
he is an excellent player
and an excellent person.
704
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:59,160
[George] It's almost like a family thing,
like a second family.
705
00:38:59,240 --> 00:39:01,440
She's always checking up on me,
706
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:03,880
and just helping me out a lot.
I feel like…
707
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,200
the relationship is still going
to keep growing as time goes on.
708
00:39:12,120 --> 00:39:14,120
[car engine]
709
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:21,000
[intense music playing]
710
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:32,920
[Lucas, in Spanish] Since I was a child,
I always played car racing games.
711
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,480
They were my favorite games and,
my father was to blame for that.
712
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:45,840
I started with karting like any other
driver who dreams of being in Formula 1.
713
00:39:45,920 --> 00:39:50,600
My brother progressed to the Formulas,
but I stayed in karting
714
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:52,520
as no chance came up for me.
715
00:39:57,680 --> 00:40:01,560
What I was trying to find
in video games was a simulator
716
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:04,320
so that I felt like a real driver.
717
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:08,880
My life changed
with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.
718
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:12,800
In 2008, this opportunity came up
719
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,600
for me to qualify for…
720
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,240
um, for the Dubai 24 Hour Race.
721
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:25,320
Uh, a real challenge in a real car.
And everything began there. I qualified.
722
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,000
I had the pressure to prove…
723
00:40:28,800 --> 00:40:32,360
that I was the driver
who had beaten 25,000 people,
724
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:34,360
and who had to face the music.
725
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:39,960
There I was representing
all the players who'd fought for a dream,
726
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:41,680
being a professional driver.
727
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:44,760
And there I was,
with my overalls, my helmet,
728
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:50,320
and with 30 or 40 cars around,
and I had to be up to the job.
729
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:59,480
The transition from driving
in a simulator, on a screen, on a TV,
730
00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:04,240
to being in a racing car
with rivals in real life is…
731
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:06,200
is a giant leap.
732
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:11,560
Situations you can't face in a simulator,
but you do have to in a real car.
733
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,440
The risk factor.
You're risking your life.
734
00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:20,000
In a simulator, you can crash,
then you press restart,
735
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,160
get a new car and you are safe.
736
00:41:27,240 --> 00:41:30,120
It was a dream come true,
but I wanted more.
737
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:42,400
Tom Kristensen, the king of Le Mans,
the driver with most wins at that race,
738
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:46,920
came to my first time there
and asked me,
739
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:50,440
"Lucas, are you the one
who comes from video games?
740
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:53,800
And you are here now? Is that true?"
I said, "Yes, it's true."
741
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,760
I was amazed, I was just 23,
742
00:41:56,840 --> 00:42:01,200
because Kristensen
came to talk to me about this.
743
00:42:01,960 --> 00:42:03,320
[cheers]
744
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:06,640
[cheers]
745
00:42:08,840 --> 00:42:12,640
[In English] It's an amazing feeling.
The best day of my life.
746
00:42:12,720 --> 00:42:14,120
[woman screams]
747
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:18,400
[in Spanish]
My family couldn't believe it back then.
748
00:42:18,480 --> 00:42:24,040
But, my father, above all, was really
touched to see me there. Everybody was.
749
00:42:24,800 --> 00:42:30,120
It's incredible when you think
that from a video game, in three years,
750
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,360
you could be in the most
prestigious race in the world.
751
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:42,080
I made lots of friends in karting
and they go nuts because, 20 years later,
752
00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:46,320
I'm currently competing
thanks to a video game.
753
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:49,720
While they kept on fighting
so long in karting,
754
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,000
in Formula Promotions,
in real competition,
755
00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:58,040
I managed to short-cut
with Gran Turismo.
756
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:03,560
And I think we have marked
a turning point in simulation.
757
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:08,520
And now, you see lots of youngsters
pursuing their dreams through this.
758
00:43:28,080 --> 00:43:30,400
[woman]
At first, we thought it was a mistake.
759
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:35,440
I was told they'd started a protocol,
but he didn't get any better.
760
00:43:35,960 --> 00:43:38,920
Quite the contrary,
the illness was progressing.
761
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,600
It finally affected
the bones, medulla, intestine.
762
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:46,440
Then they told me
they didn't know what to do with Yago.
763
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:51,880
I found out that
at the Children Hospital in Boston
764
00:43:51,960 --> 00:43:54,680
a doctor was carrying out clinical trials.
765
00:43:55,320 --> 00:43:59,480
The illness was contained,
but his immune system was destroyed.
766
00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:01,960
This posed another handicap.
767
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:06,200
Yago was totally isolated
because he was defenseless.
768
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:07,760
Any virus could kill him.
769
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:12,920
For this reason, he was
in a 4-square-meter room, in bed.
770
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,360
As a mother,
I had to stimulate my child,
771
00:44:16,440 --> 00:44:20,560
because I realized
he couldn't be sleeping 24 hours a day.
772
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:30,160
The director of Juegaterapia told me,
"Why don't we give Yago a console
773
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:34,280
so that he has something to play with?
Let's stimulate him through games:
774
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:38,000
memory games, puzzles,
games with animals,
775
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,720
whatever, but Yago needs
his brain to start moving."
776
00:44:43,080 --> 00:44:44,680
[Elena] Being creative, also…
777
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:47,800
deciding what will happen
in your game, where you want to go,
778
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,680
what level you want to play,
which superhero you want to fight with,
779
00:44:51,760 --> 00:44:53,040
creating your avatar…
780
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:58,160
[Yago] It's an adventure
in a world with lots of trees,
781
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:02,120
and underground mines,
and you can mine anywhere.
782
00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:06,240
And it was raining a bit
and my rabbit drowned.
783
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:10,520
[Valle] The nurses started talking
about how radically he had changed
784
00:45:10,600 --> 00:45:13,320
thanks to playing
those video games. He…
785
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:18,280
he was so entertained
that he forgot he was ill in a room.
786
00:45:25,720 --> 00:45:28,800
[woman] He walked three steps,
from the door to the garden,
787
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:33,440
and suddenly he stops
and I asked him to move on,
788
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:37,280
and he was completely still,
and I told him to walk,
789
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,440
and he said,
"Mom, look, I also have a shadow."
790
00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:43,320
And I told him we all do.
791
00:45:43,400 --> 00:45:45,720
He said, "I didn't before."
792
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:51,120
Then I realized, with artificial light,
you don't cast a shadow.
793
00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:56,600
And when he was in a hospital,
he thought everyone had a shadow but him.
794
00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,600
Yago had seen insect on the tablet.
795
00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,760
And, all of a sudden, he sees a fly.
796
00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:11,840
And he starts shouting
in a way that he scared me.
797
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:15,040
I had to pick him up quickly
and he covered his face.
798
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,960
And I told him that was an insect.
And he said, "It flies very quickly!"
799
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,760
Yago has grown up in an adult world,
of doctors and nurses,
800
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:30,720
but, thanks to video games,
he's been in contact with his brothers
801
00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:33,520
his family, his friends, see the world,
802
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:37,520
which he could only see
through a window before.
803
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,000
And thanks to this console and tablet
804
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:45,560
that Juegaterapia gave us
in the worst moment in our life.
805
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:01,560
[woman] We realized
we had to humanize the rooms,
806
00:47:01,640 --> 00:47:03,720
those where they spend many hours,
807
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:08,040
maybe months hospitalized,
always indoors, without going out.
808
00:47:08,120 --> 00:47:11,120
When doctors let them,
they open the door, come in,
809
00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:16,080
and they're all amazed.
They forget they're in hospital.
810
00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:21,840
[woman] We came up
with the Baby Pelones, a charity doll.
811
00:47:21,920 --> 00:47:26,440
David Bisbal, Ricky Martin, Shakira,
Alejandro Sanz, Richard Gere, etc.
812
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:29,880
We're taking the game to hospitals.
813
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,600
[man, in English] Get ready!
814
00:47:45,680 --> 00:47:48,000
Then let's get ready to rumble, guys.
815
00:47:48,080 --> 00:47:51,640
Look at this set up.
What can Windy do? Windy's coming.
816
00:47:51,720 --> 00:47:54,960
-[shoots]
-No! And Phoebe wins.
817
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:56,960
Can Rock do it?
One against three,
818
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,560
-[shoots]
-Thirty seconds left.
819
00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,280
And TeenSlayer takes him down.
820
00:48:03,360 --> 00:48:06,320
[claps and cheers]
821
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:12,520
[cheering]
822
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,280
[Josh]The beauty about games is
they give us an opportunity to learn
823
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,440
about each other and about ourselves.
824
00:48:19,520 --> 00:48:24,240
People are building personal communities
with people they trust and learn from,
825
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:26,040
based on the folks they play with.
826
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:36,000
[Raffy] I was growing up in a community
that was very poor,
827
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:39,920
in a community that was homophobic,
transphobic,
828
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,320
often anti black or experiencing racism
in some way, shape or form.
829
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,640
And videogaming was
a safe space for me.
830
00:48:48,080 --> 00:48:51,440
[Shawn] There are no black people
in the industry. Where are they?
831
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,320
Money is so important
because games take forever to make.
832
00:48:55,160 --> 00:48:56,440
And if…
833
00:48:56,520 --> 00:49:00,040
Like, that's the number one.
I think resources are the thing that keeps
834
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:04,040
black, brown, everyone across the spectrum
from being able to make their games.
835
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,440
[Raffy] We don't often see
the underrepresented faces.
836
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:12,240
The higher you go up, the wider it gets
and the more male dominated it gets.
837
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:16,040
And a lot of spaces that require risks,
such as esports, for example.
838
00:49:16,120 --> 00:49:20,680
You'll see that, while there are many fans
who play at a smaller scale,
839
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:25,320
the people who are playing at the top
are often white and men.
840
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,400
That's because
they can take the most risks.
841
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:31,480
[distorted male voice]
842
00:49:32,840 --> 00:49:36,680
[distorted male voice 2] Holy shit,
girls are so bad. Stay in the kitchen.
843
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,840
[distorted male voice 3]
We have a girl…

["Strending Kids" by Ooyy playing]
845
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:48,200
[Nicolle] "My Game My Name" was
the project that was empowering women
846
00:49:48,280 --> 00:49:52,360
to put their real nicknames
and don't be ashamed or afraid
847
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:54,560
of using your own nickname.
848
00:49:54,640 --> 00:49:57,640
[Cordelia] I have dealt
with a lot of comments and
849
00:49:58,280 --> 00:50:00,880
I have a relatively thick skin.
850
00:50:01,720 --> 00:50:05,480
But sometimes,
something just catches you,
851
00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:08,480
when you're in a bad mood
on the wrong day.
852
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,000
It can be pretty crushing
853
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,920
because when people find out
you're a woman,
854
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,480
even if it's a gender neutral nickname
855
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,200
or you don't use
the voice chat deliberately,
856
00:50:19,280 --> 00:50:20,800
if they find out anyway,
857
00:50:21,720 --> 00:50:25,640
they suddenly
will hurl an insult at you
858
00:50:25,720 --> 00:50:27,760
based on knowing that you're a woman.
859
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:32,400
[Erika] Racism, sexism, homophobia,
straight up bad behavior…
860
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:34,320
That's always been there.
861
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,480
It's not gotten worse
because now we're in the age of digital.
862
00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:40,720
Everybody's got their own camera,
863
00:50:40,800 --> 00:50:43,280
or connection to the rest
of the world right here.
864
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:53,000
[Cordelia] Some people think
women tournaments are stupid in esports
865
00:50:53,080 --> 00:50:56,160
because there should be no differences
between men and women,
866
00:50:56,240 --> 00:51:00,840
but they are a great stepping stone
into building a larger player base
867
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:03,320
for more girls and women
to enter the scene.
868
00:51:03,400 --> 00:51:06,480
[Marta, in Spanish] The leagues are mixed,
and the problem so far is
869
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:10,880
that women don't play as well as men,
who play professionally.
870
00:51:10,960 --> 00:51:14,880
[In English] Our main goal is to have
mixed teams, not only the female ones.
871
00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:18,960
Right now it's growing.
Even if it looks slow, it's very fast.
872
00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,080
Every year there are
more professional opportunities for girls.
873
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:27,400
[In Spanish] I've fought to be sure
I wasn't chosen just because I was a girl.
874
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,320
I don't to be a marketing face.
875
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,320
I want to be treated
according to my level.
876
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,440
[Roy, in English] We may look
and sound different,
877
00:51:36,520 --> 00:51:38,720
have different names, do different things.
878
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:41,400
But there's no difference between us.
879
00:51:41,480 --> 00:51:44,920
We can all do the same things.
We can all grow. We can all achieve.
880
00:51:45,640 --> 00:51:47,280
We have to change that thinking.
881
00:51:47,360 --> 00:51:49,920
Inclusivity, acceptance, belief…
882
00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:54,040
All of these things
that we are fighting for and that we want,
883
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:56,080
they take time.
884
00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,600
[Anne] We live on a small river island
on the Thames.
885
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:05,760
My husband had a boat,
886
00:52:05,840 --> 00:52:09,640
we were trying to find
a house that had mooring space.
887
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:12,920
Benjy has always loved sports.
888
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,560
His two main ones
were cricket and tenpin bowling.
889
00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:21,480
And he actually started bowling
on his second birthday,
890
00:52:22,360 --> 00:52:26,560
um, and then he ended up doing
his first competition when he was three.
891
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,840
He had a natural flair for it.
892
00:52:30,240 --> 00:52:33,240
He developed Osgood-Schlatters',
893
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:35,720
so he was in a lot of pain
when he walked.
894
00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:40,080
So after doing any sort of rugby
or any sort of sporting activity,
895
00:52:41,200 --> 00:52:43,160
he would be… I mean,
896
00:52:43,240 --> 00:52:46,640
literally you'd think he was
a 70-year-old afterwards walking.
897
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,520
The doctors suggested
that he stayed off sports for a while,
898
00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:57,280
and naturally then, you know,
computer games sort of took over and…
899
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:01,760
he's never really gone back
to doing any of those other sports.
900
00:53:05,640 --> 00:53:09,320
[Benjy] I've always wanted to be
a professional gamer. Since I've been 10,
901
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:13,480
I've always looked YouTube videos
and stuff of professional gamers.
902
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,280
And it's giving me like this…
903
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:19,320
I've just always wanted to be
at the point…
904
00:53:19,400 --> 00:53:21,000
of other people that I looked up to.
905
00:53:21,080 --> 00:53:22,360
[Anne] As a parent,
906
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:25,880
I was always trying to get him
off the computer, you know.
907
00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:28,280
There's always a battle, you know.
908
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:31,080
He's got school the next day.
He's got exams coming up,
909
00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:34,400
trying to balance that whole thing
between doing school work
910
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,680
and other activities,
as well as playing video games.
911
00:53:38,760 --> 00:53:42,160
And myself as a parent didn't realize
912
00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:45,840
that there was an industry out there
that he could become involved in.
913
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:50,880
And it wasn't until he did
a competition called Montana Black.
914
00:53:51,600 --> 00:53:56,000
And I remember it was Sunday night.
I was already in bed.
915
00:53:56,080 --> 00:54:01,200
And he came in to me and told me
that he had won 10,000 dollars.
916
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:04,480
And it was like, "Really?
Are you sure?"
917
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,320
And he was like,
"No, no. We've come first."
918
00:54:07,400 --> 00:54:09,640
And it was like, "My God, really?"
919
00:54:09,720 --> 00:54:12,080
And then it very quickly snowballs.
920
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:17,160
We formed a limited company
and we tried to open up a bank account.
921
00:54:17,240 --> 00:54:19,440
The answer I got back from them
922
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,560
was very much
that they were seeing it as gambling
923
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:25,720
as opposed to
a competitive sports.
924
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:29,640
And I had to explain, "Well, you know,
if he was doing something like a…
925
00:54:29,720 --> 00:54:32,280
a tennis player
going to Wimbledon, winning,
926
00:54:32,360 --> 00:54:35,240
would you not accept that money
into your account?

[intense music playing]
928
00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,280
The Fortnite World Cup was
a huge moment in esports.
929
00:54:51,360 --> 00:54:54,720
It was a real coming of age moment,
I think for a lot of people
930
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,200
who don't play games.
They didn't really know what e-sports was.
931
00:54:58,280 --> 00:55:02,360
And then you have this massive event,
the biggest prize in esports history.
932
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:07,200
It's also being held in a stadium
that people know for the US Open Tennis.
933
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:11,000
So, suddenly
it brings all this interest into esports.
934
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,280
People start to take it seriously.
935
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,040

00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,800
[Anne] New York
was the first big line competition.
940
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:38,160
I mean, Benji up until then
has only just played in his bedroom.
941
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:41,160
He was so excited.
We were all excited about going.
942
00:55:41,240 --> 00:55:44,800
He was finally getting to meet
the players that he's spoken to for ages.
943
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,760
Benji just slaying out
an entire lobby by himself--
944
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:50,440
-Yes.
-that was… It's like it's art, man.
945
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,800
It was a really good experience.
I met so many cool people.
946
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:55,840
[Anne] I was very, very nervous.
947
00:55:55,920 --> 00:56:00,880
The first day he was in competition,
I was quite emotional, I kept crying.
948
00:56:02,880 --> 00:56:04,800

[cheers]
950
00:56:14,240 --> 00:56:16,680
[Anne] He was totally devastated.
For him,
951
00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:22,080
being number one and champion
was what he went out to,
952
00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,080
and from a parent perspective,
it was very much
953
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:28,600
to manage his expectations,
that if he didn't do well,
954
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,360
how he would cope with that
after the event.
955
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:35,880
I don't know what happened. I think it was
a combination of me not playing my best
956
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,760
and getting a bit unlucky.
957
00:56:37,840 --> 00:56:42,680
Um, I thought I was going to be nervous,
but I wasn't nervous at all.
958
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:48,320
I just didn't really play to my standard
and that's why I didn't place my best.
959
00:56:49,240 --> 00:56:52,160
[Anne] Everyone wants to be a footballer.
Only that small
960
00:56:52,680 --> 00:56:55,000
one percent is really going to make it.
961
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:57,280
And esports is no different to that.
962
00:56:57,360 --> 00:56:59,360
[Benji] In the future,
I want to be the best.
963
00:56:59,440 --> 00:57:02,000
I'm going to keep practicing
as much as possible.
964
00:57:02,080 --> 00:57:07,000
Making sure I put in the time and effort
to make sure I'm as good as I can be.
965
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:09,600
Whatever my children are interested in,
966
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:13,000
I will try and help them
to achieve whatever they want to.
967
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,400
[José, in Spanish] When I was little,
there was time for lots of games;
968
00:57:24,480 --> 00:57:26,120
time for marbles,
969
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:30,440
for palen, a game which is now lost,
time for football,
970
00:57:30,520 --> 00:57:32,320
sometimes even with no ball.
971
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:37,880
We had to use a sock filled
with straw instead. That was the ball.
972
00:57:38,600 --> 00:57:41,480
We didn't have other options,
no TV, no radio,
973
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:45,360
so we would join other boys
and play these games.
974
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,960
Here in Galicia,
families had lots of children,
975
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,880
but only one heir,
who inherited 3/5 of the property,
976
00:57:53,960 --> 00:57:57,000
so 2/5 for four or five wasn't enough.
977
00:57:57,080 --> 00:57:58,880
Therefore, the others had to…
978
00:57:59,760 --> 00:58:00,600
emigrate.
979
00:58:02,080 --> 00:58:06,280
You had to travel by boat
and the voyage took about a month.
980
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:10,160
They had no money. They left with nothing
but the clothes on their backs.
981
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:13,720
They would send
a letter every two or three months,
982
00:58:13,800 --> 00:58:17,520
and it would arrive one,
two or three months later.
983
00:58:18,240 --> 00:58:21,280
[José Luis] We spend the summer
in my father's home village.
984
00:58:21,360 --> 00:58:23,800
It is a small town in Galicia, where…
985
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:28,160
all my father's ancestors lived:
grandparents, great-grandparents…
986
00:58:30,320 --> 00:58:31,760
When we were little,
987
00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,960
all the children of the people
who'd had to go away for work went there.
988
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:40,400
People from Mexico, France,
Bilbao, La Coruña, Madrid.
989
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,680
Once we'd left,
we didn't see each other.
990
00:58:43,760 --> 00:58:46,400
We could only get in touch
by regular post.
991
00:58:47,000 --> 00:58:51,880
Manuel's a friend I have
in Ribas Pequeñas, a village in Galicia.
992
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:56,400
I go there in the holidays
and he lives there.
993
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:05,640
Adults don't usually play,
and, here, there are only adults.
994
00:59:05,720 --> 00:59:07,560
[Lucas] When my parents were little,
995
00:59:07,640 --> 00:59:11,240
they used to come here too
and meet their friends.
996
00:59:11,800 --> 00:59:16,200
And they didn't see
each other again until the year after,
997
00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:17,600
when they came back.
998
00:59:17,680 --> 00:59:20,960
On the other hand,
we see each other in the village.
999
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:24,040
[Manuel] When they go back home,
to Madrid, to France,
1000
00:59:24,120 --> 00:59:27,760
I stay here and we can keep in touch
and play together.
1001
00:59:28,600 --> 00:59:31,880
When they meet,
they play football or swim in the river,
1002
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:35,120
but, when they aren't together,
they can't do that anymore.
1003
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,760
And they meet online to play video games,
1004
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,840
and, as they have fun,
they do it quite often,
1005
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:44,760
and their link is much closer than
by letter or phone, which are passive.
1006
00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:48,640
It's a great way to keep
and build on friendships.
1007
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:53,440
If you meet to play,
that link will grow and last.
1008
00:59:54,560 --> 00:59:57,480
I wish they could have more calmness.
1009
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,800
Now everything's very quick,
they want everything right now.
1010
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,520
I can hardly assimilate modern technology.
I don't get involved with it.
1011
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:07,760
It's a different life…
1012
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:11,160
luckily, for the better.
1013
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,760
[gentle music playing]
1014
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,880
[Michal, in English]
People are more connected.
1015
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,840
We're looking at people
who are thinking globally
1016
01:00:26,920 --> 01:00:30,360
because when they wake up
in their slippers, turn on their PC,
1017
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:33,520
they're interacting immediately
with the entire world.
1018
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:37,720
I know couples who play World of Warcraft
and they got together
1019
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,840
through that because that social aspect
of the video games
1020
01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:44,240
where these people can meet each other
within the game,
1021
01:00:44,320 --> 01:00:48,400
and then meet each other in real life.
The game can be used like an icebreaker.
1022
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:51,760
[María, in Spanish] I got into the game,
I got any nickname
1023
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:56,040
I managed to find him
because they told me his name was Neca,
1024
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:59,960
and I started talking to him
through the game chat.
1025
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:04,160
In the game you can talk to someone
if you know their nickname.
1026
01:01:04,240 --> 01:01:06,000
So I thought who is talking to me?
1027
01:01:06,080 --> 01:01:08,280
Maybe it's a friend
with a new character.
1028
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:09,640
[María] And is trolling.
1029
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:13,440
And in the end she confesses it to me
and she tells me it was her.
1030
01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,760
And with that she conquered me.
1031
01:01:16,360 --> 01:01:19,360
That we both have
the hobby of video games,
1032
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,520
made this relationship take hold.
1033
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:25,640
This was done in a very natural way
and we knew this was for life.
1034
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:35,440
[Soleil, in English] I'm a bit shy,
so it's hard for me to meet people.
1035
01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:40,200
Like, you know, finding people
who you have something in common with.
1036
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,720
And realistically, those are gamers,
1037
01:01:42,800 --> 01:01:46,040
so you feel that sense of community
and connection through that.
1038
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:50,600
I depended on my eyes
to see what was going on,
1039
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:52,360
if there's another player around?
1040
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:53,840
So that was really helpful.
1041
01:01:54,680 --> 01:01:58,000
And now it's just so much better
with all these new features.
1042
01:01:58,080 --> 01:02:02,800
[Joseph] She has grown so much.
She's gained a lot of self-esteem.
1043
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:06,080
She's made a lot of friends
and has networked.
1044
01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:09,080
And it's been a really amazing experience.
1045
01:02:09,160 --> 01:02:13,560
She is supported by the gaming community.
And I couldn't be more happy.
1046
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:28,960
[Denise] Everything John does
1047
01:02:29,520 --> 01:02:31,920
has to be done by a carer of himself.
1048
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:34,240
He's got muscular dystrophy,
1049
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:37,920
and even scratching his nose,
a carer has to do it.
1050
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,880
John's ventilator is actually
breathing for him.
1051
01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,320
He can never be left alone.
1052
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:45,920
If it comes off,
the tubing from the neck,
1053
01:02:46,840 --> 01:02:49,320
in seconds, he will die.
1054
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:54,640
I used to dream about playing football.
1055
01:02:55,600 --> 01:02:56,960
Without me knowing,
1056
01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:59,480
we ended up in Manchester
1057
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:05,160
at Old Trafford,
well today, and I met all the players,
1058
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:07,600
and Alex Ferguson.
1059
01:03:07,680 --> 01:03:09,080
That there is amazing.
1060
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:11,280
One of the best days of my life.
1061
01:03:13,560 --> 01:03:15,120
I was struggling,
1062
01:03:15,640 --> 01:03:18,680
so I decided to go to the Internet
1063
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:23,160
to see if there is anybody
or any charity that can help.
1064
01:03:26,360 --> 01:03:28,920
[Mark] SpecialEffect is a charity
that helps people
1065
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,360
with physical disabilities
to play video games,
1066
01:03:32,960 --> 01:03:34,800
everybody's disability is different.
1067
01:03:34,880 --> 01:03:38,400
We're talking about minute movements
that we've got to harness.
1068
01:03:38,480 --> 01:03:39,960
Millimeters of movements.
1069
01:03:40,080 --> 01:03:44,600
We are looking to modify existing
or new equipment in unique ways
1070
01:03:44,680 --> 01:03:49,040
so that we create totally custom set ups,
which are totally right
1071
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:51,200
for that person's disability
1072
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:53,640
to enable them to get
the best out of their game.
1073
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:56,200
[Gerard over computer]
I didn't think we'd ever get here.
1074
01:03:56,880 --> 01:04:00,640
And so I was pretty proud
1075
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:03,320
that we got to the stage where
1076
01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:08,280
we can develop equipment that's
good enough for everybody to use.
1077
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:10,400
It gives anyone the opportunity
1078
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:12,800
to game, and that's important.
1079
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,440
[John] In video games
you can do many things
1080
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:18,280
that I can't in the real world.
1081
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:24,280
Like driving or running,
kicking a football.
1082
01:04:25,040 --> 01:04:28,080
It makes you feel you're there
even if you're physically not.
1083
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:29,840
In your mind, you're playing.
1084
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:32,800
In video games,
I like to make friends,
1085
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,720
and know different people
from all over the world.
1086
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:40,000
Because it feels equal.
1087
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:41,960
They see the gamer,
1088
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:43,760
not the person behind it.
1089
01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,800
[delicate music playing]
1090
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:02,400
[Laura]
Michael was very quick to develop.
1091
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:06,480
We would give him something like Lego
and he would open on Christmas morning,
1092
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:11,040
and he would not stop for a drink,
for toilet, for food or anything
1093
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:12,400
until he completed that.
1094
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,040
[Karl] He was very focused,
1095
01:05:14,120 --> 01:05:18,520
He liked his cars, the trains…
He was very much into vehicles.
1096
01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:24,560
[Laura] By the time he was a year old,
I then had Nathan, his brother.
1097
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:29,240
Both have been obsessed with computers
ever since they were little.
1098
01:05:29,320 --> 01:05:33,960
We were both into computers as well.
We used to play on them in our spare time.
1099
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:41,720
He came home with some bruises on him,
really big impact bruises, like,
1100
01:05:41,800 --> 01:05:43,800
"How did you do that?" "I don't know."
1101
01:05:44,560 --> 01:05:48,920
He's not getting bullied at school.
We're not doing anything at home…
1102
01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:50,120
This got to be medical.
1103
01:05:52,680 --> 01:05:55,800
[delicate music continues]
1104
01:05:55,880 --> 01:05:56,920
It was knowing.
1105
01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:02,000
It's been a tumultuous six years
since then.
1106
01:06:04,560 --> 01:06:07,680
[Laura] My mom supported me
from day of diagnosis.
1107
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,600
But then mom's health
deteriorated herself,
1108
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:13,480
and then passed away
1109
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,880
just after Michael's birthday in April,
1110
01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:20,880
of the first year of treatment.
1111
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,880
We lost our…
our biggest asset in supporting
1112
01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:26,000
Laura and Michael.
1113
01:06:26,600 --> 01:06:29,760
So we had to sort of
close ranks and step up.
1114
01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,680
[hopeful music playing]
1115
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:47,200

1116

[clapping]
1117
01:06:49,360 --> 01:06:51,560
[Mathew]
That was meant to be the big win.
1118
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,800
It was all over. We…
We survived the war.
1119
01:06:54,880 --> 01:06:57,880
All seemed relatively under control.
1120
01:06:58,720 --> 01:06:59,760
For a few months.
1121
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:09,480
[Ruth] Unfortunately, Michael relapsed,
so he had to have more intensive treatment
1122
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,840
and ultimately had to go
and have a bone marrow transplant
1123
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,240
where they basically
wipe out your immune system.
1124
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,080
[Karl]
He didn't get fixed on one game.
1125
01:07:23,160 --> 01:07:25,880
He could play a game
for 20 to 30 minutes,
1126
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:29,320
and then he'd have to switch game.
I think Elite…
1127
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:34,400
was probably the first game where
he could go longer than that half an hour.
1128
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:42,160
[Paige] Elite: Dangerous is a one to one
representation of our own galaxy.
1129
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:45,720
You are not relied upon to save the world,
you are to live in it.
1130
01:07:45,800 --> 01:07:50,280
You can do heroic things if you wish to.
You can also be a bad guy if you wish to.
1131
01:07:50,360 --> 01:07:52,640
It works via the Internet,
it's multiuser,
1132
01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:56,280
so a group of you can go off
and have adventures together in the game.
1133
01:07:56,920 --> 01:08:00,520
[Mathew] In the last year
of Michael's life, we were definitely…
1134
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:03,720
We were co-pilots in Elite.
1135
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,160
And often with…
1136
01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:08,560
um, Nathan would join us
from time to time.
1137
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:11,280
[Nathan]
I tended to be devil's advocate,
1138
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,480
so I would ram his ship
1139
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:16,960
or shoot at him
when he was trading with Matt.
1140
01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:20,280
Yeah, it's more about the grind,
which is what Michael was about.
1141
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,680
I enjoyed playing it
because Michael was there.
1142
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:31,880
[Laura] Michael started to get
puffier and bigger.
1143
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:33,760
He was leaking from his lungs,
1144
01:08:34,680 --> 01:08:36,840
and the air
was leaking out into his body.
1145
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:39,440
It was coming under his skin,
all around his face,
1146
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:43,840
and he was trying to squint at the screen,
trying to play his games.
1147
01:08:45,400 --> 01:08:47,720
[Mathew] That was the point at which
1148
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:51,120
I think we'd all just come to terms
1149
01:08:51,200 --> 01:08:53,520
with the fact
that he wasn't going to survive.
1150
01:08:53,600 --> 01:08:56,440
So, I tweeted out just to…
1151
01:08:57,560 --> 01:08:58,920
ask for help, I guess.
1152
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:05,680
[Paige] The post
immediately grabbed my heartstrings
1153
01:09:05,760 --> 01:09:07,560
because Matt had said,
1154
01:09:07,640 --> 01:09:10,600
"It's heartbreaking to see
my nephew Michael
1155
01:09:10,680 --> 01:09:15,240
playing this game he loves and possibly
never achieving the goals he wants to."
1156
01:09:15,320 --> 01:09:19,200
[Sally] All of the commanders,
incredible people with massive hearts.
1157
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:22,040
They all jumped on
to basically lift him up,
1158
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:26,000
and be like, "You're a commander too,
no matter what, you're one of us."
1159
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:29,400
His aspirations were so narrow
because of his options,
1160
01:09:29,480 --> 01:09:34,440
all he wanted to do was be able to succeed
in this virtual world.
1161
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,760
[Zac] What can you do
to help feed someone's passion,
1162
01:09:36,840 --> 01:09:39,440
that excitement of someone that's really…
1163
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:41,480
you know really enjoys that world
1164
01:09:41,560 --> 01:09:44,040
and the experience
that you have within the game?
1165
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,120
What can you do to feed that
if they can't play the game?
1166
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:50,040
And so, we thought,
"Wouldn't it be cool if…
1167
01:09:51,000 --> 01:09:52,760
we could create an audio book?"
1168
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:59,640
[Mathew] It was on the Saturday.
Zach texted me the idea.
1169
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,040
So I got back to Zach
and said, "Let's try."
1170
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:06,480
But please, make sure
everyone involved knows that…
1171
01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:07,560
[inhaling]
1172
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:10,440
It might not work,
1173
01:10:11,280 --> 01:10:15,320
[Paige] We kind of looked at each other.
Like, "Right, we need to move fast."
1174
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:20,320
So, I called Joe, who is a head
of our audio team, for Elite: Dangerous.
1175
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:23,280
He was all kind of sheepish.
He was like, "Hey,
1176
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:28,240
How are you?"
I'm like, "Yeah, I'm okay. What's up?"
1177
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:33,920
"I've just got this crazy idea,
and I just want to know if it's possible."
1178
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,080
Joe was like, "You know what?
1179
01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:38,920
There's work to go into it,
but it's the right thing to do.
1180
01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:42,880
I think we can do it, it's a nice idea.
Yeah, let's see what happens."
1181
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:49,320
The next thing was having someone
to write it, so I got in touch with Drew.
1182
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:53,520
"What's the likelihood that you can write
a whole audiobook script
1183
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:56,640
for someone by tomorrow morning?"
1184
01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:00,320
I was like, "How long a story
you're talking about?" [laughs]
1185
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:01,560
It was a short day.
1186
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:05,920
He said, "About 20, 30 minutes."
So, I was like chopping up my head,
1187
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:09,960
how long that would be. And I said,
"It's going to be about 5,000 words."
1188
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:12,400
"Okay. That's that's quite a…
1189
01:11:13,120 --> 01:11:15,120
Yeah, yeah. I think I can do it."
1190
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,640
Then Sunday morning,
some coffee up and I hit the keyboard.
1191
01:11:18,720 --> 01:11:21,080
[Amelia] Those are my sets,
costume and jewelry!
1192
01:11:21,160 --> 01:11:25,360
I checked my phone as I got
in my car and I saw this message from Zac
1193
01:11:25,440 --> 01:11:28,680
asking for help,
and it was not even a thought,
1194
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,280
especially with a community like this.
1195
01:11:31,920 --> 01:11:34,080
If one of your own is in trouble,
you help.
1196
01:11:37,800 --> 01:11:40,920
[Zac] Monday morning came
and Joe's piecing it all together.
1197
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:43,360
[Joe] So I sent a message
to the Elite team,
1198
01:11:43,440 --> 01:11:45,760
"Anyone interested to be involved?"
1199
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:49,440
Every single one of them was like,
"Yeah, what do you need?" Like that.
1200
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:54,280
I was just like,
"I need the sound of an eagle fly by,
1201
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,600
of a ship crashing into an asteroid.
I need the sound of an airlock."
1202
01:11:57,680 --> 01:12:01,880
They sent me all the stuff. I put them
on the timeline, getting the mix right.
1203
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:05,560
We knew it would be close. We didn't know
whether he would get to listen to it.
1204
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:07,040
By Tuesday night,
1205
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:13,200
Zack and Paige arrived at the hospital
with the finished product.
1206
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,600
So you are acted out in the story.
1207
01:12:15,680 --> 01:12:17,600
[man] Commander Michael Holyland
1208
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:20,160
could hear his uncle's voice
over the comms link
1209
01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:23,160
crackling with static
from the overcharged engines.
1210
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:26,800
[Mathew] What have you done
to that thing, Michael?
1211
01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:28,600
[Michael] Can't keep up.
1212
01:12:28,680 --> 01:12:32,240
Dirty drives, G5 mods, lightened hull.
What haven't I done?
1213
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:35,400
[Mathew] Trying to stay one step ahead
of your brother, right?
1214
01:12:35,480 --> 01:12:40,440
[Laura] You could see his face, waiting
for the moment when he was mentioned.
1215
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:44,520
And as soon as he heard
his own voice, he was like, "That was me!"
1216
01:12:44,600 --> 01:12:47,600
[Mathew]
Watching his little chubby face
1217
01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:50,440
as he kind of grinned
through his affliction…
1218
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,360
He was alive and it was electric.
1219
01:12:53,440 --> 01:12:55,840
It's clearly got a goal and an ambition.
1220
01:12:55,920 --> 01:12:57,960
He felt important and powerful.
1221
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,200
[Amelia]
We all understood what this meant.
1222
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:01,560
[sniffles]
1223
01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:03,240
[sighs]
1224
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:07,200
It really touched me when we found
that he had passed away…
1225
01:13:07,280 --> 01:13:08,320
Um…
1226
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:09,880
but I'm glad that we made it.
1227
01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:13,080
[Joe]
To think that that's kind of his last day.
1228
01:13:13,160 --> 01:13:15,520
It was great he was able to hear it…
1229
01:13:15,600 --> 01:13:18,760
in sort of less than 24 hours
before he unfortunately passed.
1230
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:21,280
[atmospheric music playing]
1231
01:13:22,360 --> 01:13:25,240
[narrator] But every commander
hast to blaze their own trail.
1232
01:13:25,840 --> 01:13:27,400
And find their own path.
1233
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:32,440
Some can be satisfied that they
made a difference, made a tough choice,
1234
01:13:32,960 --> 01:13:37,480
persevered when the odds were
against them and the situation bleak.
1235
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,800
Bravery and courage,
1236
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:44,960
unbowed in the face of overwhelming odds.
1237
01:13:45,880 --> 01:13:48,920
That's the way of the truly elite.
1238
01:13:56,320 --> 01:13:59,840
The last time we talked about video games,
you said you played tennis,
1239
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:03,240
but when you played
on the tennis video game,
1240
01:14:03,320 --> 01:14:06,120
you always played as Roger Federer.
You still do that?
1241
01:14:06,200 --> 01:14:07,840
[laughter]
1242
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:13,120
Yeah. I don't know if it is the truth.
But the guy who is doing the game…
1243
01:14:13,200 --> 01:14:16,200
I am only the defensive guy,
two meters behind the line.
1244
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:17,200
[laughter]
1245
01:14:17,280 --> 01:14:20,280
It's impossible to make a winner.
I only run.
1246
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:22,600
So, it's better to choose another player.
1247
01:14:22,680 --> 01:14:24,120
[laughs]
1248
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:25,960
[cheers]
1249
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:28,280
[O.J.]
It's so similar to traditional sports,
1250
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:33,040
you look at the passion and the crushing
when someone loses, that's super tribal.
1251
01:14:33,600 --> 01:14:37,560
Football is all about tribes. People
follow certain teams, they never switch.
1252
01:14:37,640 --> 01:14:41,280
There's rivalries and loyalties,
which span religion and everything else.
1253
01:14:41,360 --> 01:14:44,200
Not the same with esports.
It is a global phenomenon.
1254
01:14:44,280 --> 01:14:47,200
You find people who live in Germany
and support an American team
1255
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:49,160
because they have a German player.
1256
01:14:49,240 --> 01:14:52,200
[Michal] Professional players,
those that attend big events,
1257
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:55,600
can earn anything from
5,000 euro per month
1258
01:14:55,680 --> 01:14:57,840
all the way up to 30,000 euro per month
1259
01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:02,600
from the team's salary, and on top of that
comes the prize money where
1260
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:07,680
some of the best teams can earn up to
four million dollars in prize money
1261
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:10,600
to share between five players
and a coach.
1262
01:15:10,680 --> 01:15:14,560
You can definitely talk about them
as very well off young individuals.
1263
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:22,360
[clicking]
1264
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:24,520
[keyboard clacking]
1265
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:25,760
[mouse clicks]
1266
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,080
[Nicolás]
I started playing video games with my dad.
1267
01:15:29,160 --> 01:15:31,520
We played like almost every day.
1268
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:36,440
My dad also played CS on his free time.
I was sitting on his knee playing…
1269
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:40,600
At first, I didn't know I wanted to be
a professional player. It was just fun.
1270
01:15:40,680 --> 01:15:45,560
I realized that I got better and better,
and joined my first team when I was 15.
1271
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:46,640
That was x6tence.
1272
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:51,920
[María, in Spanish] We watched him
and went to Sweden to look for him,
1273
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,760
and he turned out to be
a child with a natural talent.
1274
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:59,400
[Adrián] We offered him
a professional contract. He began to cry.
1275
01:15:59,480 --> 01:16:04,800
I was delighted that a child like him,
with that talent signed up with x6tence.
1276
01:16:05,360 --> 01:16:08,480
When he arrived, I had to fight
with organizations and leagues,
1277
01:16:08,560 --> 01:16:12,440
because they didn't allow
a 14-year-old boy to play,
1278
01:16:12,520 --> 01:16:14,520
even with his father's consent.
1279
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:19,000
In his first tournament, at 14,
we won, and he was awarded best player.
1280
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:20,760
He began to stand out.
1281
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:23,000
It's not common at all
1282
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:27,240
for someone who is 16 years old
to perform as well as he was performing.
1283
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:32,480
And he attracted the attention
of the big Counter clubs.
1284
01:16:32,560 --> 01:16:36,000
[in English] When you are running
a new sports team, you always keep
1285
01:16:36,080 --> 01:16:37,240
an eye out for talent.
1286
01:16:37,320 --> 01:16:40,200
Uh, we've been following him
for some time.
1287
01:16:40,280 --> 01:16:42,800
We think he's one of the best players
in the world.
1288
01:16:42,880 --> 01:16:45,560
[intense music playing]
1289
01:16:46,720 --> 01:16:49,720
[Anders] This idea of having people
who come out of nowhere
1290
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:52,440
and suddenly are in a huge team, um…
1291
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:56,320
is kind of unheard of. He's one of those
early people who's been able to do that.
1292
01:16:56,920 --> 01:17:00,440
[Patrik] Having him join the team
it's great for everybody involved.
1293
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:04,640
He is a young, talented Swedish player
that finally got his breakthrough.
1294
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,640
And hopefully we can help him
through this whole, like,
1295
01:17:07,720 --> 01:17:10,960
pro scene so he can develop to be
a great player I know he can be.
1296
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:12,480
I'm excited for the future.
1297
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:15,800
[Valentín] I was proud,
especially when they jumped to the arena,
1298
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:18,040
and everybody
was standing up and shouting.
1299
01:17:18,120 --> 01:17:23,640
Tears came to my eyes when
the people were shouting Plopski's name.
1300
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,680
Who could have imagined that?
This is awesome.
1301
01:17:28,560 --> 01:17:32,440
[commentator] …if the day… Plopski!
He finds the head shot!
1302
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:34,200
He knows what he's doing!
1303
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:36,240
-[cheers]
-[commentator] He has to be there!
1304
01:17:36,320 --> 01:17:39,000
[Marvin]
I think he is a really good player,
1305
01:17:39,080 --> 01:17:42,960
and I think this was his first time
on stage now, and he did really well.
1306
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:46,920
[Joseph] It was absolutely fascinating
because of the strategy and…
1307
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:48,800
I was so impressed.
1308
01:17:48,880 --> 01:17:51,880
[Anders] When you're skilled at the game
and you got a chance
1309
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:53,960
that is as big as being on an IP is,
1310
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:57,240
you have to focus on other things.
You have to think about,
1311
01:17:57,320 --> 01:18:03,320
"Okay, how do I make sure I don't screw
this up by having my ego built too big?"
1312
01:18:03,400 --> 01:18:06,640
"How do I make sure I can
sort of stay grounded and focused on,
1313
01:18:06,720 --> 01:18:08,760
not just the next couple of months, but,
1314
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,840
where is my career going
one, two or three years from now?"
1315
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,080
[intense music playing]
1316
01:18:19,480 --> 01:18:23,280
[narrator] There is an open debate
when considering esports, a real sport,
1317
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:26,520
and a comparison
to other sports is inevitable.
1318
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:29,760
At the German Sports University,
1319
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:33,960
a research project is testing
the ability and stress profiles
1320
01:18:34,040 --> 01:18:35,920
esport players go through.
1321
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,800
[Ingo, in German] In esports, performance
is achieved using hand and fingers.
1322
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:45,720
The players carry up to 400 small
and barely visible movements per minute.
1323
01:18:45,800 --> 01:18:49,840
We test the fine motor skills like
hand to eye coordination, wrist speed,
1324
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:53,440
dexterity and the precision
of hand movements.
1325
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:58,600
For the perception and attention test,
we use the NeuroTracker.
1326
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:04,280
The primary focus is on perception
and selective attention in a 3D space,
1327
01:19:04,360 --> 01:19:06,800
as well as central brain functions,
1328
01:19:06,880 --> 01:19:11,480
as working memory or the ability
to process information quickly.
1329
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:15,160
Because many esports tournaments
last for several hours or days
1330
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:17,040
an increased endurance capacity
1331
01:19:17,120 --> 01:19:19,800
also helps the brain
to stay in good shape.
1332
01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,240
With all these tests we want to compile
1333
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:25,120
and analyze the optimum ability
and stress profiles
1334
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,040
of those who take part in esports,
1335
01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:29,800
and to develop a theory
of training on this basis.
1336
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:41,520
[Marcos, in Spanish] We've taken
two people of the same sex and age.
1337
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:46,920
The only difference between them is that
one is a pro gamer, a professional,
1338
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:49,280
and the other is just an amateur player.
1339
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:54,360
During the resonance
they were watching some videos.
1340
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:56,800
[Luisa] They put me the videos.
1341
01:19:56,880 --> 01:20:02,840
What you do is see them and think
what I would have done at that moment.
1342
01:20:03,440 --> 01:20:06,640
[Clara] I was trying to understand
what was happening in the game
1343
01:20:06,720 --> 01:20:11,240
and I didn't know
what I had to watch out for.
1344
01:20:11,320 --> 01:20:15,120
I was seeing the surroundings,
how they moved, what was happening.
1345
01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:16,360
I even got scared.
1346
01:20:19,000 --> 01:20:22,080
[Juan] There are differences
in brain activity
1347
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,120
that are clearly seen between a person…
1348
01:20:25,200 --> 01:20:27,760
that is a professional player
1349
01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:30,240
and another one that is an amateur.
1350
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:34,640
[Marcos] The amateur is activating
the brain with much more intensity.
1351
01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:38,080
If we see which areas
of the brain are activated,
1352
01:20:38,160 --> 01:20:43,480
the auditory areas, which are activated
in the expert and not in the amateur.
1353
01:20:44,080 --> 01:20:48,840
The motor areas, in charge of the hands,
are very active in the expert.
1354
01:20:48,920 --> 01:20:54,280
Even though she isn't moving,
she knows her hands should be.
1355
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:57,160
And just by watching
the videos of the game,
1356
01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:00,880
the brain adds what she should
be doing with her hands.
1357
01:21:06,720 --> 01:21:09,280
[Michal, in English] Esports is esports,
and gaming is gaming.
1358
01:21:09,360 --> 01:21:14,440
You might sit and play video games all day
and that will not be esports.
1359
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:18,320
Esports is actually competing in
an environment which is structured,
1360
01:21:18,400 --> 01:21:21,400
which has rules,
which has competitions…
1361
01:21:21,480 --> 01:21:25,280
[Janko] We're slowly starting to get
the generation of players who are
1362
01:21:25,360 --> 01:21:28,520
coming up and saying,
I want to be an esports player.
1363
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:32,600
If you're 12 and say to your parents,
"I want to be a professional footballer",
1364
01:21:32,680 --> 01:21:36,720
then your parents will probably think
it's very unlikely that will happen.
1365
01:21:36,800 --> 01:21:39,280
But we don't mind supporting it,
and buying shoes
1366
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:41,160
paying for it, driving you to practice,
1367
01:21:41,240 --> 01:21:44,440
because we know you're going
to get a lot of things out of it.
1368
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:46,640
[Janko]
Give yourself a time frame,
1369
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:51,000
a year, a year and a half,
that you will give 110 percent to this.
1370
01:21:51,640 --> 01:21:53,520
Then you must be realistic, objective
1371
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:55,840
look where you are,
what happened in year and a half.
1372
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,320
Did you improve?
Did you get to a good team?
1373
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:01,480
Are you now competing?
Are you getting there, at least slowly?
1374
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:04,680
Then be realistic
with the result after that. If you're not,
1375
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:06,360
maybe this is not for you.
1376
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,320
[Jordan] Be confident in your ability,
say you know you can do it,
1377
01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:12,880
and also be realistic with yourself.
1378
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:14,720
Make sure you have a backing.
1379
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:18,160
I didn't quit my job
until I was able to confirm a salary.
1380
01:22:19,160 --> 01:22:23,160
[Fatih] I had a plan B
and I still can go to study if I want to.
1381
01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:26,400
I hope I can raise my kids
as smart as my parents raised me,
1382
01:22:26,480 --> 01:22:28,720
that they understand
they need a plan B and…
1383
01:22:28,800 --> 01:22:32,040
if plan A isn't working,
it doesn't matter. Plan B is also there.
1384
01:22:32,560 --> 01:22:36,280
[Michal] Esports can be a doorway
into so many interesting possibilities,
1385
01:22:36,360 --> 01:22:39,760
just like a former footballer
could become a physiotherapist,
1386
01:22:39,840 --> 01:22:43,600
you know, a manager, a coach,
1387
01:22:43,680 --> 01:22:46,040
and a television expert,
a commentator.
1388
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:48,600
[Anders] People should be
interested in thinking about
1389
01:22:48,680 --> 01:22:51,960
if they want to push their career
or education in this space.
1390
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:55,600
We have esports lawyers,
esports salespeople, esports coaches,
1391
01:22:55,680 --> 01:22:59,080
and we have, like all traditional things
you could do now
1392
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:02,240
you can tag esports onto it
and find some sort of career.
1393
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:03,600
[Danny] Now we have…
1394
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:07,880
real sportsmen,
real businessmen investing into this.
1395
01:23:07,960 --> 01:23:09,400
They see a future for us.
1396
01:23:19,160 --> 01:23:22,320
[narrator] The video game industry'
is growing around the world,
1397
01:23:22,400 --> 01:23:25,560
and South Korea has been leading
the way for some time,
1398
01:23:25,640 --> 01:23:29,320
where competitive gaming
is taken very seriously.
1399
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:32,640
Culturally, video games,
particularly in Korea,
1400
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:36,960
is very core to what's popular
and popular culture.
1401
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:41,080
Right in the middle of Seoul,
right by a central train station in Seoul,
1402
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:43,760
We have an arena that's called Low Park
1403
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:46,600
that Korean League does
all their matches and broadcast.
1404
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:52,280
[Can] The competitions in South Korea
in general is very high level.
1405
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:56,120
Children are competing
from the kindergarten,
1406
01:23:56,200 --> 01:24:00,560
so people are very used
to the competitions environment.
1407
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,760
When the players
choose to be professional gamers,
1408
01:24:03,840 --> 01:24:04,880
their mentor is…
1409
01:24:05,760 --> 01:24:07,680
totally focused on the victory.
1410
01:24:07,760 --> 01:24:14,000
[Son, in Korean] I played the game
as a hobby but then I became good player.
1411
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:17,560
I thought of becoming
a professional player.
1412
01:24:17,640 --> 01:24:21,320
People told me all the time
that I should join
1413
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:23,680
a professional team.
1414
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:28,000
And now with the consent of my parents,
1415
01:24:28,600 --> 01:24:30,240
I am on the MVP team.
1416
01:24:31,720 --> 01:24:35,240
[in English] Korea is already set.
So like they have a pro league,
1417
01:24:35,320 --> 01:24:38,800
the players get enough money
to live as a player profession.
1418
01:24:38,880 --> 01:24:41,040
Markets say the average salary
1419
01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:43,200
of the League of Legends player
in South Korea,
1420
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:45,200
the average, is 150,000.
1421
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:51,600
[Paul, in Korean] Every game company
is making an attempt to create a product
1422
01:24:51,680 --> 01:24:56,600
that can encompass
game content around the world.
1423
01:25:01,960 --> 01:25:05,240
[narrator] Video games are also having
an impact on pop culture,
1424
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:08,040
especially when it comes
to fashion and cosplay.
1425
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:12,080
Cosplay is a performance art
in which participants wear costumes
1426
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:17,640
to represent characters from cartoons,
manga and, most recently, video games.
1427
01:25:21,600 --> 01:25:25,600
[Lee, in Korean] I used to watch
animation when I was a child
1428
01:25:25,680 --> 01:25:30,520
and I loved their customs
and how they were dressed.
1429
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:35,720
So I looked for this thing,
and then I started with cosplay.
1430
01:25:36,480 --> 01:25:39,720
[KyungMin] I've been into video games
and cosplay since always.
1431
01:25:40,320 --> 01:25:41,480
Then, I realized
1432
01:25:43,240 --> 01:25:45,640
that I could make money with cosplay.
1433
01:25:46,800 --> 01:25:51,040
So I set up a company
1434
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:55,080
for the cosplay business.
1435
01:26:01,440 --> 01:26:05,040
[narrator] Esports have been evolving
at a fast pace over the past years.
1436
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:10,640
Audiences are growing
and teams from Asia, Europe and the US
1437
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:14,280
compete for the top positions
in most of the tournaments.
1438
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:17,600
But other parts of the world
are catching up quickly.
1439
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:25,480
[man, in Spanish]
Jerónimo started playing video games
1440
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:29,960
when he was little, in Club Penguin.
1441
01:26:30,040 --> 01:26:35,080
And he hasn't really stopped ever since.
It was one video game after other.
1442
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:40,120
As a father, the only thing I saw
was a child in front of a computer.
1443
01:26:40,200 --> 01:26:41,760
I didn't know much about it.
1444
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:44,800
Later, everything started
to get a bit complicated.
1445
01:26:44,880 --> 01:26:47,280
That which is good fun
and easy to control,
1446
01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:53,160
because he is ten and I tell him to do
his homework, stop playing and go to bed,
1447
01:26:53,240 --> 01:26:58,280
when he is 14, becomes
"Okay, I'm going to bed but a bit later",
1448
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:00,440
but you can't be on top of him.
1449
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:04,960
And when he is 15 or 16,
he says, "Yeah, yeah, I'm going to bed",
1450
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:07,960
and just avoids you and stays awake.
1451
01:27:08,720 --> 01:27:11,400
And then, the conflicts at school start.
1452
01:27:12,320 --> 01:27:15,920
Conflict with the headmaster,
with the teachers.
1453
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:20,000
They called us because he was sleeping
all morning at school.
1454
01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:21,880
"What do you mean with that?"
1455
01:27:22,720 --> 01:27:27,280
Later, this starts becoming
what we could call almost an obsession.
1456
01:27:27,880 --> 01:27:32,640
Twelve hours a day,
low grades at school, etc.
1457
01:27:33,320 --> 01:27:36,240
Lots of things happened.
We had to…
1458
01:27:36,320 --> 01:27:40,160
We cut off the Internet,
threw the router out of the window,
1459
01:27:40,240 --> 01:27:45,480
He cut the cable off the modem,
or hide the PC power cord.
1460
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,080
I spent, at 12 years old,
1461
01:27:48,160 --> 01:27:51,320
nine hours at an Internet café
because I didn't have a router to play.
1462
01:27:51,400 --> 01:27:55,480
And then,
he started breaking keyboards.
1463
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:57,360
How he managed his anger,
1464
01:27:57,440 --> 01:28:00,440
the madness
due to the frustration for the game.
1465
01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:06,400
I fought with my mom a lot.
I wanted to make a living out of this,
1466
01:28:06,480 --> 01:28:11,640
but she wanted me to study,
to finish school and go to university.
1467
01:28:11,720 --> 01:28:14,080
[man] It was a bit embarrassing for us.
1468
01:28:14,160 --> 01:28:17,160
We said to each other,
"There's something wrong with him."
1469
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:21,200
Because when he broke keyboards
and I got new ones,
1470
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,880
and Luz told me,
"No, don't get him a new one.
1471
01:28:23,960 --> 01:28:27,360
You are always solving his problems."
And so on.
1472
01:28:27,440 --> 01:28:33,400
His mother didn't know what to do,
and asked me to take charge of him.
1473
01:28:38,840 --> 01:28:42,520
When, 30 years ago, I told my parents
I wanted to study advertising,
1474
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:46,640
they said,
"Why not become an architect or a doctor?"
1475
01:28:47,200 --> 01:28:49,760
So, with that in mind, I wondered,
1476
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:54,400
"What if there's something behind this
that I may not be realizing?"
1477
01:28:54,480 --> 01:28:56,080
So, when Jero told me,
1478
01:28:56,160 --> 01:29:01,280
"This is how it works, there are leagues
and you get paid for it,
1479
01:29:01,360 --> 01:29:04,000
and look how many subscribers
I have on YouTube."
1480
01:29:04,080 --> 01:29:06,520
So I started to encourage him.
1481
01:29:06,600 --> 01:29:10,800
Without telling him, I started to give
preference to his training over school.
1482
01:29:12,280 --> 01:29:15,200
But, it's a decision a parent
has to make.
1483
01:29:15,280 --> 01:29:18,120
When I understood what this is all about,
1484
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:22,360
I saw it was like a football club.
1485
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:29,560
[Jerónimo] He always supported me a lot.
And I always thought I didn't deserve him,
1486
01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:33,840
because he always supported me,
and I felt I couldn't say thank you.
1487
01:29:34,440 --> 01:29:40,120
Jero says it was difficult for his mom,
but, when she finally understood it,
1488
01:29:40,200 --> 01:29:43,040
she became
one of his most important supports.
1489
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:48,520
And when you see that person's changed
and congratulates you, you feel relief.
1490
01:29:57,440 --> 01:30:01,760
[Fernando] Being able to create content,
and distribute it,
1491
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:06,080
is a chance the digital media allows,
which the traditional media didn't have,
1492
01:30:06,160 --> 01:30:09,760
and which a lot of
traditional sports clubs can't do.
1493
01:30:09,840 --> 01:30:12,440
[Antonio] Football isn't my rival,
Netflix is. Why?
1494
01:30:12,520 --> 01:30:15,040
Fans want to have constant content.
1495
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:19,800
If I'm able to give them
contents 24/7 through my own team,
1496
01:30:19,880 --> 01:30:23,960
my own content creators,
my players, the club itself,
1497
01:30:24,040 --> 01:30:27,080
I will have those fans unconditionally.
1498
01:30:27,160 --> 01:30:30,440
The relationship with players
is similar to the one in football;
1499
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:35,440
they are sports people,
with a contract and a salary,
1500
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:37,240
but, in this digital environment,
1501
01:30:37,320 --> 01:30:42,200
they need to look after their image
a lot more than in soccer.
1502
01:30:42,280 --> 01:30:46,960
You need to be both
a player and a content creator.
1503
01:30:47,640 --> 01:30:51,560
For a professional player, playing well
isn't enough. It is for his team,
1504
01:30:51,640 --> 01:30:54,160
but to reach a bigger audience,
he needs to entertain.
1505
01:30:54,240 --> 01:30:55,520
That's when we step in.
1506
01:30:55,600 --> 01:30:59,240
We, YouTubers, help people have fun,
but we don't have enough level.
1507
01:30:59,320 --> 01:31:01,440
[Jorge]
I used YouTube and esports a lot.
1508
01:31:01,520 --> 01:31:05,560
I managed to have a voice, and realized
I could use the voice I have.
1509
01:31:05,640 --> 01:31:08,720
My voice, my audience on YouTube,
and take it to esports.
1510
01:31:08,800 --> 01:31:11,800
[Ibai] I started in YouTube
with friends from class,
1511
01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:17,880
and through that I became interested
in the world of the internet, of esports.
1512
01:31:17,960 --> 01:31:19,880
Back then, they weren't called so.
1513
01:31:19,960 --> 01:31:22,680
I went to a casting and they chose us.
1514
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:24,000
[inaudible]
1515
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:27,480
[in English] What I do is talk
about video games, sometimes anime,
1516
01:31:27,560 --> 01:31:30,560
about maybe top 10s,
about favorite aspects of certain games,
1517
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:32,680
and make them interesting, like skits.
1518
01:31:32,760 --> 01:31:34,200
[speaks in German]
1519
01:31:34,280 --> 01:31:37,880
-[speaks in German]
-So we are told this ended up
1520
01:31:37,960 --> 01:31:42,800
in the YouTube career. You can learn it,
you can choose it basically.
1521
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:46,440
[Daniela, in Spanish] I became famous
with perseverance, that was very important
1522
01:31:46,520 --> 01:31:48,600
and creating content
people were interested in.
1523
01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:53,240
If a new game came out, I would buy it
and I filmed myself playing it
1524
01:31:53,320 --> 01:31:55,520
so people could also enjoy it.
1525
01:31:56,680 --> 01:31:59,320
[Aritz] I was home playing,
watching YouTubers,
1526
01:31:59,880 --> 01:32:02,200
and, one day, I thought, "Why not me?
1527
01:32:02,280 --> 01:32:03,600
I'm playing all day.
1528
01:32:04,120 --> 01:32:05,560
Why shouldn't I show them?"
1529
01:32:05,640 --> 01:32:09,040
Because many people say that,
taking into account my difficulties,
1530
01:32:09,120 --> 01:32:13,120
I play better than other people
with no handicap in their hands.
1531
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:16,720
I made a video on my channel,
because they wanted to know how I played.
1532
01:32:17,240 --> 01:32:20,000
And then my channel started
to get off the ground.
1533
01:32:20,080 --> 01:32:24,160
My parents were puzzled,
and asked, "And what is all this for?"
1534
01:32:24,240 --> 01:32:28,400
and I said "I don't know, dad.
I'm having fun. I don't know. I enjoy it."
1535
01:32:28,480 --> 01:32:32,640
You have fun with your garden,
and I play games, record it and upload it.
1536
01:32:33,880 --> 01:32:36,040
[Daniel] The biggest celebrities
are not actors.
1537
01:32:36,120 --> 01:32:38,160
They're not the face of media.
1538
01:32:38,240 --> 01:32:41,080
These are just individuals, mostly online.
1539
01:32:41,160 --> 01:32:44,920
You look at Youtubers and Instagrammers,
these people have more influence
1540
01:32:45,600 --> 01:32:47,400
than some of the biggest actors.
1541
01:32:47,480 --> 01:32:49,680
[in Spanish] Some of us with a voice
1542
01:32:49,760 --> 01:32:52,240
are setting up the collective imagination.
1543
01:32:52,800 --> 01:32:55,160
And the children listening to us
1544
01:32:55,240 --> 01:32:59,440
don't need teachers,
or to be told what is right or wrong.
1545
01:32:59,520 --> 01:33:02,960
But I think if we transmit values
1546
01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:06,760
and a way to understand life, social life
1547
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:09,640
we're helping set up tomorrow's society.
1548
01:33:10,240 --> 01:33:13,040
[narrator] Technology
will change the world as we know it,
1549
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:15,000
improving our quality of life,
1550
01:33:15,080 --> 01:33:17,800
but also presenting us
with new challenges.
1551
01:33:18,720 --> 01:33:22,240
We are living through a revolution
like never seen before,
1552
01:33:22,320 --> 01:33:27,200
in which communications and connectivity
are not only letting us play in new ways,
1553
01:33:27,280 --> 01:33:30,360
but also transform
the way we used to play.
1554
01:33:32,720 --> 01:33:36,320
[Jake] VR and AR allows you to have
a natural interaction with the world
1555
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:39,920
rather than having a console
or display or some sort of wearable,
1556
01:33:40,000 --> 01:33:44,000
it'd just be there. It'll be transparent.
You won't even be thinking about it.
1557
01:33:46,200 --> 01:33:49,480
[Brennan] It's leveraging the ability
for the computer to understand
1558
01:33:49,560 --> 01:33:50,840
the world that's around.
1559
01:33:50,920 --> 01:33:56,120
And there's this threshold in terms
of data transfer that 5G gets passed.
1560
01:33:56,720 --> 01:33:57,800
[Chema] In real time,
1561
01:33:57,880 --> 01:34:02,600
we'll be able to have VR,
Augmented Reality, HD gaming,
1562
01:34:02,680 --> 01:34:05,520
which will break all the barriers,
1563
01:34:05,600 --> 01:34:09,200
and will allow children all over the world
to become close friends,
1564
01:34:09,320 --> 01:34:12,480
thanks to the virtual worlds
in where they'll live.
1565
01:34:12,560 --> 01:34:16,400
History is being made in front of us,
but also disappearing at the same time.
1566
01:34:16,480 --> 01:34:18,400
Something we just got used to
is already gone
1567
01:34:18,480 --> 01:34:21,040
by the time we've documented
and gotten used to it.
1568
01:34:21,120 --> 01:34:23,000
[in Spanish]
What will happen in the future?
1569
01:34:23,080 --> 01:34:25,480
Will they leave a mark in humanity?
1570
01:34:25,560 --> 01:34:28,520
Or is this the culture?
A culture of the ephemeral.
1571
01:34:32,840 --> 01:34:36,040
[Roy in English]
That unites us more than ever.
1572
01:34:36,120 --> 01:34:41,360
We're in a very hostile environment
for community, for faith in others…
1573
01:34:41,440 --> 01:34:44,240
And when you play these games,
all of that sets aside.
1574
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:47,440
It makes sense to be skeptical
or fearful of something new.
1575
01:34:47,520 --> 01:34:51,400
[man] The industry has to get involved,
but we need the support of governments
1576
01:34:51,480 --> 01:34:52,680
and the parents.
1577
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:56,400
[Marcos] It's very easy
to blame video games.
1578
01:34:56,480 --> 01:34:59,720
We need to know
we're responsible for our children,
1579
01:34:59,800 --> 01:35:01,080
and we can't avoid that.
1580
01:35:01,680 --> 01:35:04,880
[Michal] At the end of the day,
if you're worried about your children,
1581
01:35:04,960 --> 01:35:07,200
pay attention to what they're doing.
1582
01:35:07,280 --> 01:35:11,800
Take interest, talk to them about it.
They would love for you to listen
1583
01:35:11,880 --> 01:35:14,800
about what they love.
And then you can make a judgment.
1584
01:35:14,880 --> 01:35:17,960
[man] Society always
has a problem with a new medium.
1585
01:35:18,040 --> 01:35:19,320
Why don't we learn from that?
1586
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:22,160
[Roy] When you're gamer or you play
1587
01:35:22,960 --> 01:35:24,800
They tell you, "Get outside."
1588
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:26,400
"Go, go have a life."
1589
01:35:27,040 --> 01:35:28,480
But you are having a life.
1590
01:35:39,560 --> 01:35:42,960
[atmospheric music playing]
