Banking on Africa: The Bitcoin Revolution

Dir. Tamarin Gerriety

Documentary || 47m || South Africa

As the world races to lead the way in blockchain technology, could Africa have an
advantage?
This documentary follows the journeys of two African Bitcoin pioneers, Alakanani Itireleng
(Founder of the Satoshi Centre, Botswana) and Lorien Gamaroff (Founder of Usizo, South
Africa). Exploring their hopes for this technology and how it could be used to improve the
lives of millions of people, experts in finance, economics and technology weigh in with a mix
of industry research, opinions and passion for what the future global economy could hold.
And, with much of the developed world’s banking system becoming increasingly unstable,
this documentary starts a conversation about cryptocurrency and Africa leapfrogging
problems to live in a better global financial system.
