The COVID-19 pandemic will forever go down in human history as one of the most impactful periods. Even though we have largely moved on from it, its effects are still far-reaching several years later.
One of the things many people will remember from that era is the GameStop fiasco. Now, more than two years after the events which threatened Wall Street's very existence, Sony Pictures has released the first trailer of its adaptation of the story for the big screen.
If your memory of the event is hazy, the film's official synopsis should refresh it and supply the basic facts of the case: 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 store) into the world's hottest company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmr8YmwnZ3w
Dumb Money is a story about how the common man took on the whales of Wall Street in a battle that will be spoken about in financial circles for a long time to come.
The events, happening as the world was recovering from the shock of the pandemic, showed what's possible when average individuals band together for a common goal.
