In The Seats With...Sheona McDonald and 'Dead Man's Switch: A Crypto Mystery'

Sometimes truth IS stranger then fiction... We're diving head first into even more Non-Fiction at Hot Docs which runs until May 9th online at hotdocs.ca. On this episode we're getting more then a little confused diving into the worlds of Cryptocurrency with 'Dead Man's Switch: A Crypto Mystery'. This film unravels the story of a Canadian blockchain wizard who mysteriously died in India on his honeymoon leaving many to wonder. Did the fate of his investors $200 million dollars vanish into the digital void, or is it sitting somewhere behind some password encrypted 1's and 0's. It's a confusing world, but as we sat with director Sheona McDonald it began to make sense as she gave us some reference on the research she had to do in this world, her theory on what actually happened and we talked about how this film really does shine a light on how uncertain and unstable some of these financial markets truly are.
