A ‘David vs. Goliath’ true story about a regular guy, who sank his life savings into GameStop (the video game store) stock in 2021 and posted about it online. When his social posts start blowing up, so does his life and the lives of everyone following him. As a stock tip becomes a movement, everyone gets rich – until the Wall Street billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside down.

“A fun and fast-paced comedy…” – Rafer Guzman, Newsday

“With a brisk, biting comic tone and a nice line in righteous anger, Dumb Money skilfully picks up The Big Short’s baton for cinematic-economic takedowns.” – John Nugent, Empire Magazine

“It’s worth investing your time in this subversively funny take on the GameStop stock saga.” – Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
