Synopsis

Ben McKenzie explores cryptocurrency in his directorial debut, moving from curiosity to exposing harsh truths. His documentary both educates and entertains while delivering a powerful critique of the crypto world.

Moviegoers are saying

Ben McKenzie's directorial debut transforms from OC heartthrob to crypto crusader in this surprisingly hilarious documentary that had audiences audibly groaning at Ted Cruz and cheering for 'Ryan Atwood's' takedown of cryptocurrency scammers. Shot over 4+ years, the film captures McKenzie's journey from lockdown boredom to righteous indignation, featuring jaw-dropping interviews with crypto kingpins who later went bankrupt or to jail.

Proof that Ryan Atwood is funny! I can’t wait for more people to see this. McKenzie is insanely likable, both charmingly self-deprecating about his career and deeply honest about the fact that this whole obsession with taking down crypto basically started from being bored…
