Stephen Fry-Narrated Doc Set For Prime Video Mind Games – The Experiment, a Stephen Fry-narrated doc, is dropping today on Prime Video.

The program is billed as a “a groun breaking study that follows sedentary and physically inactive gamers” to see if exercise makes their gameplaying abilities better by improving cognitive functions.

It will follow four professional games, who specialize in chess, mahjong, memory and esports, respectively, and take the results from 70+ gamers elsewhere around the world to draw conclusions.

The doc is from Beyond Productions, which is now part of Banijay. The study and doc were initially commissioned by international sportsware brand ASICS, though the film is editorially independent and unbranded.
