Overview
Inspired by the writings of Jean Baudrillard, this film - shot entirely within the videogame Red Dead Redemption 2 - examines people's perception of history, in this case the Wild West period, and how it has been influenced by media representation and recreation, or perhaps how it has been entirely replaced by it.
