Dangerous Games: Roblox and the Metaverse Exposed

The gaming platform Roblox is a digital world primarily designed for children. But beneath its playful surface lie extremism, racism, and sexual predators. Three teenage girls take it upon themselves to expose these risks and fight for greater safety in this digital environment.

Roblox is one of the world’s most successful online gaming environments, offering millions of children freedom, anonymity, and a space to be themselves. Yet this uncontrolled freedom also creates opportunities for racism, hate speech, extremism, sexual harassment, and predators targeting minors. The documentary follows three adolescent girls who, after their own traumatic experiences, refuse to accept the platform’s inaction. They highlight repeated failures in content moderation, create warning videos, and build a community dedicated to transforming Roblox into a safer space for everyone, regardless of age, race, or gender. Their online activism gradually spills over into the real world, raising a vital question: who is responsible for protecting children in the digital worlds of the future?
