The fast-paced, globe-hopping documentary "Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain" provides plenty of words, examples and context to help define its complex subject, blockchain technology. Go to Full Review
Ben Kenigsberg New York Times 10/25/2018
By the time Rosario Dawson, the narrator, points out that blockchain will likely require some form of regulation to survive, the movie has become an unwitting endorsement of the status quo. Go to Full Review

dave d 07/16/2020 An extremely cerebral documentary that isn't for the faint of heart when it comes to the future of the worldwide economy. These are ideas that some progressives may even think are left of center, but are they really? Every old thing was once a new thing to each individual so is this so far out there? That's the perspective Alex Winter comes from in his latest documentary, 'Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain'. In short, it's about bitcoin. However as we learn this is a very complicated subject. If you're not in a thinking mood, wait til you are and enjoy! Final Score: 7.8/10 See more 11/02/2018 Now I understand the Blockchain.
