DOCUMENTARY
Do you know anyone who has a hard time distinguishing between their real life and Second Life? Here is a movie you might want to suggest to them: Second Skin. Screening at the Downtown Independent through August 21st, the documentary examines the lives of individuals consumed by popular online games/sites such as Second Life, World of Warcraft and others.
