You’ve probably heard about cryptocurrency over the past few years, even if you’re unsure what the hoopla is all about. As it turns out, the crypto world is like the Wild West: the rules are what you make them, and the markets can be affected by the smallest change. While professional stock traders may find this to be old hat, how does it affect the regular people looking to change their lives with this popular currency? Documentarians Chris Temple and Zach Ingrasci return to Tribeca with This Is Not Financial Advice, a look into the realities of crypto investment, to find the answer. 

Temple and Ingrasci follow a diverse group of amateur stock and crypto investors during the 2021 crypto bubble, including the self-proclaimed “Dogecoin Millionaire” Glauber Contessoto. Their highs and lows are documented with stunning vulnerability, and its unbiased look into this tumultuous world will give both fanatics and naysayers a new perspective. Just don’t take the advice of anyone you see in this documentary.––Jarod Neece
