Synopsis
Ana is a filmmaker who becomes hooked on crypto trading. Concerned about her growing obsession, her husband and her father urge her to go to therapy. Instead, in a mix of desperation and self-reflection, Ana decides to turn the experience into a documentary about the feverish world of Bitcoin.
In this witty and revealing documentary, director Ana Ramón Rubio turns the camera on herself as she plunges deeper into the volatile universe of crypto speculation. Accompanied by an enabling producer, a chaotic production crew of newly converted crypto-enthusiasts, and her skeptical economist father—who is determined to protect his daughter from being financially ruined by what he sees as a giant scam—Bull Run becomes a rollercoaster journey through the culture surrounding cryptocurrency.
With humor, honesty, and insight, the film meets the believers, skeptics, and opportunists who inhabit this ecosystem while unpacking the technology and ideology behind it. In a world where ordinary citizens suddenly become market pundits and every trade holds the promise of fortune or ruin, Bull Run explores the thin—and increasingly blurred—line between investment and gambling.
