Max Original Documentary “Gaming Wall St,” Narrated by Kieran Culkin, Debuts March 3 [VIDEO]

The two-part Max Original documentary GAMING WALL ST debuts Thursday, March 3.

Narrated by Kieran Culkin (HBO’s “Succession“), this two-part documentary explores the historic 2021 short squeeze of GameStop, and how a group of armchair investors and online vigilantes ultimately helped expose the dark underbelly of Wall Street.

Joanna Zwickel, SVP, Documentary Features and Series, Gunpowder & Sky quote: “GAMING WALL ST peels back the layers of one of the most talked-about news stories in 2021, revealing the systemic issues and underbelly of the financial world,” says Joanna Zwickel, SVP, Documentary Features and Series, Gunpowder & Sky. “It’s an honor to have this series live on HBO Max.”

Tobias Deml, Director quote: “I wanted to create a compelling documentary about a niche online community which grew into the movement behind GameStop and momentarily shifted the balance of power on Wall Street. I saw a great need for access to education about investing. We have the opportunity to right a decades-old wrong created by powerful firms that have been gaming the system to the detriment of society. I hope that viewers will feel empowered to see themselves as investors and be part of a much-needed reform to Wall Street.”
