Chapter 1 : Magic without the Gathering (Teaser)
Community and Magic is a documentary film and the first Phase 2 Pictures Digital Original, exploring the extraordinary people and enduring spirit behind the global phenomenon of Magic: The Gathering.
When the COVID-19 pandemic brought the world to a standstill, a community of more than 35 million players suddenly found itself separated from the game that had connected them for decades. Local game stores stood still. Event halls and locations fell silent. Lifelong friendships were forced online as one of the world’s most passionate gaming communities faced an unprecedented challenge.
As the world slowly reopened, players returned—not just to compete, but to reconnect, rebuild, and rediscover what made the game more than just cards on a table.
Through intimate stories, unforgettable personalities, and a journey across the evolving landscape of competitive and casual play, Community and Magic examines resilience, belonging, and the powerful bonds forged through a shared passion.
At its heart lies a compelling question: after more than three decades, countless competitors, and an ever-changing world, what is the secret that has kept Magic: The Gathering at the pinnacle of trading card games—and why does its community continue to thrive against all odds?
