This documentary tells us the tale of money - where it began, how it evolved and how far we have come to the tall towers of Wall Street. It then shows us how it could all change with cryptocurrencies taking over. The documentary also depicts how bitcoin could end some of the control governments can exercise with fiat currencies. The film also won several awards, including a Special Jury Prize at the 2015 Amsterdam Film Festival, and a handful of prizes at the Las Vega Anthem Film Festival in the same year.

The technological impact of blockchain goes much beyond cryptocurrencies, and that’s what this documentary by Alex Winter aims to tell us.
