"The Remarkable Life of Ibelin"
On netflix. The blurb sounded interesting so I gave it a go but I was not expecting what came.
It's about a boy who was born with a degenerative muscle condition. His family watched him deteriorate over time, with gaming his only real outlet.
When he eventually died, they felt such sorrow at the fact he had never been able to love, make friends or positively impact society. But then the gaming world reached out and they realised they couldn't have been more wrong.
It's incredibly produced, as they were able to recreate the interactions he had through the game. And the people behind the other characters also talk about his impact.
Incredibly moving.

On my watch list, I’m addicted to warcraft play it nearly every day, even today I flew into the monument they’ve put in game for him, they do lots of these things in game, there’s tributes to many different people within the game Robin Williams is but one."The Remarkable Life of Ibelin"

I'm not a gamer or even aware of that game to be honest. I didn't read the blurb very thoroughly - just saw it being about a gamer and had assumed he'd taken his life after being bullied in the game or something like that. Couldn't have been more wrong. It's staggering the impact he had to be honest and how that game was helping people escape their realities. The way they recreate the conversations using the game is outstanding as well.

Helmand on BBC 2 interviewing. Welsh guards about their 2009 tour of duty . What they experienced and the continuing trauma they have to deal with daily the word heroes doesn’t really seem adequate enough.
