Unbanked
Watch TrailerMark, a former London banker, now lives in Nairobi's slums teaching locals how to bypass traditional finance. His clients are street vendors, migrants, and single mothers who've never held a plastic card. The documentary follows three parallel stories: a Kenyan woman building a microloan cooperative through a messaging app, a Filipino worker sending remittances via cryptocurrency, and an American developer creating a decentralized app for refugees. Filmed in Kenya, Indonesia, and Venezuela, it reveals how blockchain and mobile payment systems are redefining money in regions where banks remain an inaccessible luxury. The director employs direct interviews and concealed cameras to capture moments where digital transactions become acts of survival.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The director opts for a minimalist visual grammar — static frames, lingering shots, absence of voiceover narration. The camera becomes a silent witness to financial rituals that are routine for some, revolutionary for others.
Those who tire of polished fintech narratives will find raw authenticity here. What lingers after viewing is the realization that the most radical financial innovations emerge not from boardrooms but from market stalls and refugee camps, where trust algorithms replace credit scores. — MovieFinder Editorial
