Gaming & Death.

TOP GUN

On the 2008 Thanksgiving weekend, Steve and Angelika Crisp confiscated their son Brandon’s Xbox. The Crisps could not have foreseen the tragic consequences. Brandon retaliated by running away from home – his body was discovered three weeks later. Brandon’s death became a national news story – he was not just another teen runaway. Brandon’s disappearance and death revealed to parents a darker aspect to their children ‘s gaming: addiction. And as gamers are drawn into an alternate world their need to play is fuelled by dreams of international glory and the chance to win thousands of dollars on a professional gaming circuit.In a fifth estate investigation by reporter Gillian Findlay, viewers will go inside this virtual community – where gaming addiction can trump even family and friends.
