After discovering the world of battle bots was alive and well in Miami high schools, director Joey Daoud was inspired to create Bots High, a documentary exploring the lives of the teenagers behind the fighting machines. Joey joins us to discuss diving head first into his debut feature and organising a world wide free screening day on Thursday, October 6th for Bots High.
