Synopsis

Affliction

This 45 minute documentary by Mark Hejnar is a sort of Whitman's Sampler of sickness, chronicling such wildly diverse and extreme personalities as G.G. Allin, Mike Diana, Full Force Frank, GLOD, Annie Sprinkle, and others. This collection of short clips and vile moments is certainly NOT for the squeamish, as these are the artists and performers who have taken the term "free expression" to it's limits--and beyond.

Finding Satoshi

At the center of Bitcoin lies the greatest unsolved mystery of the digital age. Who created it, and who is Satoshi Nakamoto? Finding Satoshi presents the conclusion reached after a four-year, evidence-based investigation, drawing on original reporting and rare access to key figures in crypto to uncover the human ideas, motivations, and philosophy behind the code that reshaped global finance.
