Kaizo is a short documentary that reveals how a niche video-gaming community single handedly raises millions of dollars for charities each year. The story is told from the perspectives of GrandPOObear, a professional gamer and world record holding speedrunner, and Andrew MacCalla the Director of Direct Relief’s emergency response team, a worldwide humanitarian aid organization whose mission is to improve the health and lives of people affected by natural disasters.
