The story

What Is Playing Columbine About?

The premise of Playing Columbine without spoilers.

A polarizing game, a deadly shooting, a widespread protest—together for the first time. The documentary chronicles the 16‑bit role‑playing game Super Columbine Massacre RPG!, tracing its creation, the 2006 Dawson College shooting where media branded it a “murder simulator” that “trained” the shooter, and its removal from the Slamdance 2007 Guerrilla Gamemaker Competition, which provoked half the entries and a sponsor to withdraw. Written and directed by Tolka.
