 “Making some noise can make a difference, and I hope that would be encouraging to people who are afraid, especially in this political climate.” - Jane M. Wagner

Grace speaks with filmmaker and television producer Jane M. Wagner about her debut feature documentary, Break the Game (2023). Jane’s film, centered on world-record-holding gamer Narcissa Wright and her experience coming out as a trans woman, explores “gamer culture, the realities of online harassment, and the mental health implications of living a digital life.” The film’s unexpectedly rocky rollout — PBS indefinitely postponed its POV broadcast, before offering a later date — offers a cautionary tale for anyone navigating the crisis-filled waters of public media right now. Jane’s innovative approach to ensuring that her film reached audiences, on her own terms, will hopefully spark inspiration for how fellow filmmakers can connect with and share their work directly with the public, no matter what happens next with PBS.

The documentary makes its national broadcast premiere on PBS’s POV Monday, June 30, 2025 at 10 p.m. (check local listings). It will be available to stream until July 30, 2025 at pbs.org and via the PBS App.
