From Hollywood to the wild, wild west of cryptocurrency, Ben McKenzie is following the money. And apparently, there's a whole lot of bullshit to uncover along the way.
In Everyone Is Lying to You for Money, the actor-turned-investigative filmmaker takes a hard look at the crypto craze, exposing the hype, shady dealings, spectacular collapses, and broken promises that turned dreams of overnight riches into financial nightmares.
Written and directed by McKenzie, this eye-opening documentary features Morena Baccarin, Gerard Butler, Sam Bankman-Fried, and Alex Mashinsky as it explores an industry where fortunes disappear, accountability is optional, and everybody seems to have something to sell.
Who gets rich? Who gets screwed? And who's telling the truth when there's billions on the line?
Released by The Forge, Everyone Is Lying to You for Money promises a fascinating, darkly funny trip down the cryptocurrency rabbit hole.
