What a way to lean into the futuristic market of money, through the eyes of multiple generations. Throughout the documentary, Timoner weaves the storyline and chapters through a game platform, separating topics through literal levels, incorporating entertaining modern memes that leave you glued to the screen. Feeling as if you are both in an economics or finance class and diving into a multiplayer online room, this keeps the film balanced between entertainment and knowledge. It also really shines a light upon the education regarding today's technological landscape and meaningful tour de force of societal upheaval. This presentation truly dives into the truth behind old systems and why/how they crumbled, all leading into the current future of how the invisible hand plays its cards right.

'TNA' features known names such as Jordan Belfort, Anthony Scaramucci, Shepard Fairey, and even newer faces taking over social media platforms (Taylor Price, Pro The Dodge, Angela Zhang). This just goes to show that currency, green or crypto, is a lot more accessible than it was back in Adam Smith's day and age. The docu paints the world of trading in a thrilling, innovative, yet Catch-22-like manner, showcasing events such as Occupy Wall Street, to RobinHood's rise & fall.

The "vocabulary" words (i.e.: 'NFT,' 'avatar,' 'discord'), made the subject matter felt very interactive and stimulating, as if I had stepped into the digital world myself. I came in knowing barely anything, and left encouraged as a twenty-four year old to hopefully get my feet wet the investing world, as clearly, the game has changed.
