Invisibility Blues...
summary
A project called Invisibility Blues documents a concrete claim: mainstream games repeat racist imagery and omit realistic options in character creation, shown with side-by-side footage and interviews. The Kickstarter asks for $4,800 and funds at 270% funded to roughly $10,000; production needs include new hardware and software and hundreds of games. First episode edits seven and a half hours down to a 22-minute cut, the plan grows from eight to ten videos, and the team adopts online-safety steps while testing whether the videos shift industry practices.
