NEW YORK – October 17, 2025 – The award-winning feature-length documentary titled “UNBANKED” will officially premiere on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and Google TV on October 31st, coinciding with the 17th anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto’s release of the landmark Bitcoin White Paper on Halloween Day.
About the Film:
Emerging from the 2008 financial crisis, Satoshi Nakamoto introduced the Bitcoin protocol and subsequently vanished. Since that time, over $2.4 trillion has been invested in this decentralized digital alternative to the US dollar. The documentary raises thought-provoking questions about whether Bitcoin is merely a myth or a legitimate avenue for mass monetary self-determination. Featuring interviews with notable figures including Jack Dorsey, Adam Back, Michael Saylor, Erik Voorhees, Ted Cruz, and Meltem Demirors, the film showcases footage from four continents, including Patagonia, Ghana, Nigeria, London, Portugal, and various locations across the United States. UNBANKED examines how millions may achieve financial autonomy by becoming their own banks and eliminating intermediaries.
Directed by David Kuhn and Lauren Sieckmann, the film has a runtime of 85 minutes (2025).
Awards and Early Recognition:
UNBANKED is already garnering significant accolades on the film festival circuit, having won Best Documentary at the Manhattan Film Festival and the Spotlight Award at the Harlem International Film Festival. It now positions itself as a qualified contender for the 2026 Academy Awards Best Documentary Feature, with its trailer nearing half a million views within just ten weeks of release.
Prominent Bitcoin educator and host of the “Coin Stories” podcast, Natalie Brunell, commends the film:
“This stunning film takes viewers across continents to meet individuals whose lives are being transformed by Bitcoin. From communities grappling with severe inflation to those excluded from traditional banking systems, UNBANKED captures authentic stories of hope, resilience, and financial liberation. Its visual splendor and emotional depth serve as a poignant reminder of Bitcoin’s significance beyond mere charts and headlines. Uplifting, inspiring, and unforgettable; this is a must-see for anyone invested in the future of money and human freedom.”
