Second Skin August 10, 2008

Second Skin takes an intimate, disturbing look at three sets of computer gamers whose lives have been transformed by the emerging genre of computer games called Massively Multiplayer Online games, or MMOs. World of Warcraft, Second Life and Everquest allow millions of users to interact simultaneously in virtual spaces.


Second Skin introduces viewers to couples who have fallen in love without meeting, disabled players whose lives have been given new purpose, men who have trouble distinguishing between the real and virtual worlds, Chinese gold-farming sweatshop workers, wealthy entrepreneurs and legendary guild leaders – all living within a world that doesn't quite exist.
