NEW YORK – October 17, 2025 – The award-winning feature-length Bitcoin documentary “UNBANKED” will officially air on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and Google TV on October 31, the 17th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto’s famous Bitcoin White Paper release on Halloween.
About the movie:
The 2008 financial crisis led to Satoshi Nakamoto releasing the Bitcoin protocol and then disappearing forever. Since then, more than $2.4 trillion has been poured into this decentralized digital alternative to the US dollar. Is Bitcoin a myth or a path to collective monetary self-determination? Featuring interviews with Jack Dorsey, Adam Back, Michael Saylor, Eric Voorhees, Ted Cruz, and Meltem Demirers, and footage from four continents and across the United States, including Patagonia, Ghana, Nigeria, London, and Portugal. Unbanked explores how millions of people can achieve financial freedom by becoming their own bank and cutting out the middleman.
Directed by David Kuhn and Lauren Siegman (2025, 85 minutes).
