About this movie

Making a printable gun landed Cody Wilson on the U.S. government's watch list. Together with British programmer Amir Taaki, they founded a Bitcoin app that allows its users to "go dark" – because for this pair of crypto-anarchists, ensuring freedom of information and challenging economic structures they view as corrupt is mandatory.
Adam Lough glimpses a rarified world, where these new radicals revel in questioning everything from gun control to encryption, even if it means incarceration. Yet the question remains: Are they freedom fighters or criminals? This captivating encounter examines how their distinct group came about and what their existence says about the economic, cultural, and technological landscape.

It is without a doubt an interesting bit to watch regardless of which side of the table you sit at..It also explores just how many layers we have allowed through law and interpretation that are and will be created.Sadly the more inteligent and philosophical we become about individual ideas that also creates more layers in which you on either side have to navigate hoping to find your sides solution which seems to become a revolving circle that never developes an end state. Certain situations should not be allowed so many layers when the solution should be a simple one. Example" a person walks into a building and shots/ kills a group of multiracial, men and women who believe in no one spiritual thing as a whole.He kills these people for no reason except that he is obviously screwed up...He is caught in the act, arrested and admits he actions in a state that allows the death penalty.. It should at that point be an open and shut case you would think But now we will have to find out his mental state by a multitude of doctors, is he mentally fit for trial ( by who's authority) so on so forth..It goes on and on for at times years when in the beginning it was very simple to answer..He was nuts, he walked innocent people and admits it for no appearantly reason in a state with the death penalty yet if found guilty after years of tut for that mental this childhood that when the answer should be a very straight forward act....And this is a simple straight forward example.. ..This is a good explanation documentary to those layers on both sides

This is awesome, a must see. Been following Cody from day one. If i ever meet him I'll buy him a glass of blue label for doing all that he's done. And tap him in the nuts for voting HRC 😲 (Joking, i wont assault him, but i will make fun of him😋) This is freedom in the making, and proof that it is not free. Fight the good fight.
