Moral choices, Moral Kombat
If you haven’t been hearing about the upcoming SCOTUS hearing regarding Schwarzenegger v. EMA (You know, where the government is trying to convince the courts that they should be telling parents how to parent their kids), you might want to get a primer about what this is all about. Moral Kombat is a video that explores the whole issue of violence in video games, by director Spencer Halpin (brother to ECA founder and president Hal Halpin).
From the movie’s website:
Moral Kombat takes a look into the controversial subject of violence in video games. Director Spencer Halpin shows the constant conflict between the game creators’ first amendment right to make a violent game and the eminent threat that violence poses on the next generation.
In addition, the film is full of the latest green screen and high-definition technology that allow watchers to actually envision the world of gaming. Filled with interviews from lead game designers, politicians, parents, and psychologists, this film provides a candid take on the influence games have on youth today.
