“Disclaimer: The Tribeca Film Festival 2023 Does Not Constitute Financial Advice”
The documentary “This is Not Financial Advice” chronicles the rise and fall success of Dogecoin, while also chronicling the democratization of the financial landscape, as social media and the internet have opened the world of finance to the masses. The film follows the story of Glauber Contessoto, who invested everything he had into Dogecoin, becoming “The Dogecoin Millionaire”. The documentary shows the various forms of success others have navigated on their own paths to financial success, including Senjay in Long Beach, CA, who has used his financial success to teach others and work towards making better housing opportunities in his community, and TikTok Financial Influencer Kayla, who gives back to her community as well.
The documentary is not about telling audiences the right or wrong way to embark on the financial market, but rather about showing the various paths to success and the potential financial triumphs and failures that come with embracing the financial landscape. The film becomes a testament to the populism coming for capitalism, as the financial world becomes democratized for all those who want to give it their best shot. The film could have used tighter editing, but it achieves its overall goal of chronicling the evolution of a democratized financial landscape.
