This award-winning documentary provides basic information on NFTs and the metaverse. However, it goes deeper in challenging the players of this new field about the negative impacts that NFTs may bring (ex. crime). The director, Torsten Hoffmann, maintains an investigative attitude to discovering the true potential of NFTs, whether that be good or bad or both. Documentary explains cryptocurrency, specifically Bitcoin and Ethereum, and how it came about and how it works. One interesting part was the scene where the crew got to see the bunker where the digital banks for Bitcoin were stored.
