Plot Synopsis

Executive produced by filmmakers Dan Cogan and Liz Garbus, EAT THE RICH: THE GAMESTOP SAGA is a three-part documentary series that follows a group of millennial misfits who banded together online to rescue their beloved GameStop from the clutches of Wall Street bigwigs, in a viral David vs. Goliath story for the 21st century. Coalescing on Reddit, TikTok and Discord, they capitalized on a new age of investing with their thumbs to thwart Wall Street's cynical ploy to burn the company down. By sending shares "to the moon," these millennials felt they could stick it to the man, once and for all. But can "the little guy" ever truly win against Wall Street? As the resulting market frenzy pitted legions of amateur traders against hedge fund bigwigs, it became a viral David vs. Goliath story for the ages. With exclusive access to key members of Reddit's wallstreetbets community who fueled the short burn movement, alongside everyday people who hitched their wagon to the GameStop train and luminaries of the financial world alike, Eat the Rich: The GameStop Saga offers a humorous look at the unlikely cast of characters who brought about the latest seismic shift in how the world's money behaves. All three episodes of EAT THE RICH: THE GAMESTOP SAGA dropped on Wednesday, September 28, 2022 on Netflix:

"I Like The Stock": In 2020, a few plucky upstarts on Reddit spot an opportunity to get rich quick and stick it to Wall Street -- by investing in a declining retail chain.

"The Reckoning": After the squeeze, one Redditor and investing app Robinhood come under suspicion for their ties to the financial establishment.
