► Dumb Money
Dumb Money is the ultimate David vs. Goliath tale, based on the
insane true story of everyday people who flipped the script on
Wall Street and got rich by turning GameStop (yes, the mall videogame

billionaires fight back, and both sides find their worlds turned upside
down. Dumb Money is directed by acclaimed Australian filmmaker
