Dorkapalooza: How the Nerds Won

Mark Zuckerberg launches Thefacebook from his Harvard dorm in 2004, unaware his idea will reshape global society in two decades. The 2026 documentary 'Dorkapalooza: How the Nerds Won' traces the journey from early MIT hackathons to Silicon Valley's cultural dominance. Director Adam McKay uses interviews with founders of Facebook, Google, and Reddit to explore how social awkwardness and a passion for code became a world-changing force. The film examines the paradox: those once mocked in school now dictate how we communicate, conduct business, and engage in politics. Archival footage of dorm rooms, garage servers, and TechCrunch Disrupt pitches paints a portrait of the digital revolution's unlikely architects.
