WHO IS ARTHUR CHU?
A FILM BY: YU GU, SCOTT DRUCKER
STARRING: ARTHUR CHU, ALEX TREBEK, ROCQUE TREM, ELIZA BLAIR
Run Time: 90 minutes (Check out the trailer below)!
https://vimeo.com/
Arthur Chu hacked Jeopardy! and won big. Now he’s using his newfound celebrity to battle dark forces on the internet as a blogger and cultural pundit. Raw, unfiltered and poignant, we follow Arthur as he realizes he can only create positive change in the world if he first heals his own wounds by reconciling with his estranged family.
Featuring a Q&A with Scott J. Drucker and Yu Gu, moderated by Chicago-based journalist, Peter C. Baker, a freelance journalist and contributing editor at Pacific Standard magazine. In 2015, he profiled Arthur Chu, and in the years since has written extensively about masculinity and the Internet for New York Times Magazine and Elle. He is a 2017-2018 Carter Center Fellow in Mental Health Journalism.
