ZUCKERBERG King Of The Metaverse

ZUCKERBERG King Of The Metaverse

Sky   –   Feature Doc

In January 2004, Mark Zuckerberg embarked on a coding journey that would change the world.

Two decades later, this feature length documentary tells the inside story of the extraordinary events that shaped Zuckerberg’s life and career, and the profound impact they’ve had on all our lives.

Told through key figures and rarely seen archive, Zuckerberg: King of the Metaverse charts the rise of the world’s youngest self-made billionaire, a man lauded for connecting half the global population and enabling ordinary Facebook users to overthrow oppressive regimes.

But, just as the platforms Zuckerberg created helped uprisings in parts of the Arab world, other political players harnessed their powers for less positive aims and Facebook was accused of encouraging misinformation and helping to fuel genocide in Myanmar.

Mark Zuckerberg’s social network had proved its power for driving change, but was it all desirable and was anyone ultimately accountable?

As Zuckerberg remains at the helm of his ever-expanding Metaverse, this digital-age empire story delves into themes of power, privacy, mistrust and disinformation, shining a light on an enigmatic man whose influence shapes the destiny of our world.

Immersing herself in a growing online community of influencers, podcasters and creators who see themselves as on the front line of a war against progressive politics, Layla seeks to find out what is driving women her own age to share extreme and often offensive content to their followers on social media.

It’s 2011 and Macchiarini is revolutionizing transplant medicine through his ground-breaking alternative to organ donation. To desperate patients Macchiarini’s plastic windpipes were the miracle they had longed for. But Macchiarini lied about his research and all but one of his patients endured excruciating deaths. And the only surviving patient had their plastic windpipe removed.

At the same time Macchiarini is also a brazen liar in his love life. Benita Alexander, Macchiarini’s one-time fiancé, recounts the astounding story of his web of lies in which he claimed renowned public figures like the Pope, the Clintons, the Obamas, Putin, and even Elton John were at his beck and call.

Featuring the courageous families of his victims, his former colleagues turned whistleblowers and never before heard revelations, this series follows the unrelenting fight to bring Macchiarini to justice. A cautionary tale of power, love, deception and betrayal.

Jon joined the brilliant edit team to work on the third and final episode.
