GTFO: A Film About Women in Gaming is a documentary about the abuse suffered by female gamers and female industry professionals. Sun-Higginson started the project after her friends revealed the extent of the abuse they had been receiving online. Sun told Forbes, “Video games [are] the future of creativity and art. When women speak out, they will get so much backlash, and I don’t see that as much in their male counterparts. It’s such a tragedy because I think that probably discourages young women from entering this very exciting field."
