The metaverse may look like fun and games, but a new documentary reveals its darker side. Director Ann Shin joins to talk about Dangerous Games, which follows three young women navigating platforms like Roblox and Minecraft—spaces that can be exploited by predators, extremists, and hate groups. The conversation highlights how these immersive digital worlds evolve faster than laws or safety standards, and why parents need to understand the risks their kids may be facing in what seem like harmless games.

Guest: Ryan O’Donnell, with Clips from Deb Hutton with Ann Shin — Director, Dangerous Games
