Heather Chaplin was at least interviewed, but as far as makers and innovators, women and people of color were disturbingly underrepresented.

The <i>I, Videogame</i> site (which may be the same 5-part series, or a subset, I don't know) has a <a href="http://www.discoverychannel.co.uk/ivideogame/html/crew.shtml" rel="nofollow">credits page</a>. YEah, it'd be great to hear their commentary. We’re in the dark about the filmmakers; we didn’t even know the documentary was airing until after the broadcast began.

Let me say first and formost it matters who the director is. Is there a consistent director/auteur for this proj? it would behoove us to get them in as a sep. commentary voice. Disparate parts of Discovery have a habit of vanishing and I for one would like to hear their story. hi,
