This documentary follows 11-time Jeopardy game show winner Arthur Chu, who won almost 300,000 US Dollars. By using an unconventional game strategy, the former insurance analyst amassed tens of thousands of fans and haters on Twitter. In an effort to put his 15 minutes of TV fame to good use, Arthur has since aspired to becoming a public figure. By addressing such topics as racism and sexism particularly in gaming culture, his posture debunks the ‘model’ Asian American. We follow him as he re-visits his childhood and youth as first-born son of an Asian American family and in his marriage to his wife Eliza. And we ask ourselves: how far will his 15 minutes of fame carry him?
