The second documentary of the year which attempts to explain online communities to me, and while Grand Theft Hamlet was about self expression, isolation and shared ambition in the time of Covid, Remarkable Life looks at how these online worlds can help those with real world restrictions to experience a life we all take for granted.

This is an intensely involving and emotionally devastating exploration of a young man with a form of degenerative muscular disease who found all he craved but was denied - love, friendship, community, adventure, respect and legacy - in World of Warcraft, whilst he real body slowly wasted away. A fact only discovered by his family after he merged with the infinite.

It is very well told, setting up his short and restricted life as a standard doc would, before expanding into his online presence and meeting the dozens and dozens of people who he touched along the way. I’ll confess, the animated recreations of World of Warcraft did leave me a little cold - although that probably down to my relative lack of interest in the subject - but, emotionally, this is a powerfully told story about hidden lives and how we choose to represent ourselves, and about finding the best in what you have been dealt.

At one point I was crying so hard I found myself making small whimpering noises.
