A new documentary about Bitcoin is scheduled to be released soon on various streaming services. Unbanked will be released on Halloween, celebrating the 17th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto’s white paper.
The film looks at the real-world impact of BTC, featuring footage from four continents and interviews with leading industry figures. It’s already won multiple accolades, but the creators of Unbanked want to go even further.

A new documentary about Bitcoin
In recent years, Bitcoin has been host to many documentaries, from famous crimes to the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto and more. In the coming weeks, one more will join their ranks, as Unbanked will premiere on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and Google TV this Halloween:
Unbanked will be released on the anniversary of the original Bitcoin white paper and the documentary covers the impact of the first crypto asset. Previous films have documented the story of BTC’s origins, but Unbanked is taking a different approach.
Instead, this documentary aims to record how Bitcoin has truly changed the lives of users. It includes on-the-ground footage from four different continents, as well as exclusive interviews from crypto luminaries such as Michael Saylor, Jack Dorsey, Erik Voorhees, and more.
A cultural moment for cryptocurrencies?
Although this documentary about Bitcoin has not yet been released publicly, its creators have still been taking it on a screening circuit across the United States.
Unbanked has competed in multiple awards shows, already winning Best Documentary at the Manhattan Film Festival and a Spotlight Award at the Harlem International Film Festival. The team also plans to run an Oscar campaign, but it is a very ambitious undertaking.
Still, cryptocurrencies have been gaining a lot of mainstream acceptance lately thanks to political developments and investment in TradFi. Strictly speaking, now might be the best time for a Bitcoin documentary to aim for some real cultural praise like this.
In any case, Unbanked could be a significant moment for the industry. The most recent documentary about Bitcoin made a significant real-world impact, but this one could be even bigger. For now, however, we’ll have to wait and see.
