A Boy is a Gun

A Boy is a Gun is an exploration of stereotypical roles within video games, black masculinity and my experiences of growing up as a black British boy and teen. These themes are explored through the vehicle of the character Skate Hunter (from Streets of Rage 2), presenting a new fictional narrative to better reflect his own life, blending a gaming world with an all too real experience.
