'Dumb Money' Featurette Highlights a Community Underdog Story [Exclusive]

See how Roaring Kitty and everyday people fought back against Wall Street as the film expands on September 29.

The Big Picture At the heart of Craig Gillespie's new economy-centric comedy Dumb Money is the story of the likable Keith "Roaring Kitty" Gill. The YouTube and Reddit investing personality built up a community of followers who headed his advice to invest in GameStop, sparking a movement that caused hedge fund managers to lose billions. He turned everyday people into millionaires and created a way for the little guy to fight back against the seemingly untouchable.

On top of making people laugh, Dumb Money wants its viewers to feel outraged toward a system that actively works against them. Gillespie said as such in an interview with Steve Weintraub after the film's Toronto International Film Festival debut where he highlighted the joys of Gill's underdog win contrasted with the attempts by everything from Robinhood to Congress to bail out the billionaires.
