Covering that very subject matter is Dangerous Games: Roblox and the Metaverse Exposed, a new Canadian documentary from Toronto-based filmmaker Ann Shin (My Enemy, My Brother), TVO Docs and Fathom Film Group. This is despite the fact that, as shown in the film, Roblox features in-game integration with Discord, effectively allowing a direct, private link through which adults can converse with children. In the four years since the start of the production of Dangerous Games, Shin and Farrugia say they've seen some improvements. You wouldn't leave your kid alone on the playground, so why would you leave them alone on Roblox online? Stream Dangerous Games: Roblox and the Metaverse Exposed for free on TVO (broadcast) and TVO Docs' YouTube channel, website and Smart TV app starting May 25.
