Eat the Rich: The Gamestop Saga
What's the Story?
In EAT THE RICH: THE GAMESTOP SAGA a community of amateur traders enacts a daring plan to get rich quick and wreak havoc on the stock market. But can they beat Wall Street at its own game?
Is It Any Good?
One-on-one interviews, light-hearted narration, and quirky imagery are used to tell the full story of the stock's wild ride that most don't know. Eat the Rich: The Gamestop Saga is a fascinating recounting of everything that happened during the once-in-a-lifetime stock market event. Through detailed examinations of all the players involved -- from rookie investors who made millions or lost it all, to millionaire founders and TV personalities -- this three-part documentary details what led to the meteoric rise and fall of Gamestop's stock and everything that happened after. It's a captivating tale full of plotting, deceit, and possible collusion but it's also a crash course in the workings of the stock market. Adults and teens alike will come away with a better understanding of terms like "hedge fund," "short squeeze," and "attention economy," making this series a great pick for families with older children.
