Bad Influencer
BAD INFLUENCER reveals the shocking rise and fall of Belle Gibson, one of Instagram’s first super-influencers. By 23, the Australian wellness guru had cultivated an adoring global following with the story that she’d cured her own terminal cancer by eating a plant-based diet and using alternative natural therapies. Warm, glamorous and authentic, Belle’s appeal transcended Instagram as she scored a lucrative deal with Penguin, while winning awards and plaudits from Apple, Elle, Cosmo and others. But there was one problem with Belle’s story: she never had cancer. BAD INFLUENCER will lift the lid on one of social media’s great mysteries: who was the real Belle Gibson – an ingenious con artist or damaged young woman trapped in a lie?

Finding Satoshi
Mt. MELVIL
1 x 60' HD
In 2005, a U.K based company developed an alternate reality game called Perplex City, which was played in the real world. The goal was to discover the location of an artifact called the “receda cube” buried with 100,000 GBP somewhere in the world. Players had to solve 256 puzzles to get clues to its location and it was found in 2007, thus officially putting an end to the game. However, out of the 256 cards, only one remains unsolved: A picture, a name and “Find me!” written in Japanese. Narrated by award-winning actor Willem Dafoe, FINDING SATOSHI is the wild story of a 14-year search for answers to a hide-and-seek puzzle game, and the fascinating path to the answer!
