Critical Path 'Girls Level Up'

Although 47% of videogamers are female, only 12% of game developmers are, and #gamergate was only one example of how misogynistic the gaming community can be. Laila Shabir started a coding camp for girls and her program is rapidly expanding around the world. This film documents her own inspirational story and that of the girls, as they go from shy tweens to game designers and as her family watch Laila's dreams come to life. The film is part of Critical Path, an ever-expanding documentary project about the art, craft and culture of videogame design and development-
