With “WeWork,” Rothstein chronicles the story of Neumann, who did not participate in the film, until his exit from the company after it canceled its IPO. Streaming services love documentaries and docuseries in part because they’re relatively cheap to make, they get strong viewership and they can tap into of-the-moment cultural obsessions. Closer to the true-crime side, HBO’s “McMillions” tells the story of a former cop who defrauded McDonald’s of $24 million. A subgenre of documentaries about dark internet trends, exemplified by HBO’s “Q: Into the Storm” and “Fake Famous,” as well as Netflix’s “The Social Dilemma,” also has been on the rise. For example, Discovery+ is set to run a doc on the WallStreetBets-GameStop stock saga, narrated by none other than “Wolf of Wall Street” convict Jordan Belfort. Meanwhile, demand for documentary programming - measured using search interest, social media, YouTube streams and other data - grew 142%.Īnd it looks like studios are happy to satisfy that hunger.

Parrot Analytics data recently published by Axios shows the number of documentary series grew 63% from January 2019 to March 2021. While I couldn’t find data specifically on the proliferation of such documentaries, it seems clear a broader appetite for docs is growing on streaming services. “We know our audiences are riveted by the inner workings of the outlandish people and culture behind the rise and fall of some of these larger-than-life stories, and that makes them especially compelling for us to champion.” “The excesses of culture and business are endlessly fascinating and, there’s been a huge trend as of late in holding corporations accountable with documentaries like ‘WeWork’ and ‘Fyre Fraud,’” said Belisa Balaban, Hulu’s original documentaries vice president. The dueling Fyre Festival docs from Netflix and Hulu from a couple of years ago also fit the genre. The genre goes at least as far back as Alex Gibney’s “Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room” from 2005, and also includes his 2019 HBO effort “The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley,” about failed blood-testing firm Theranos and its leader, Elizabeth Holmes, who was indicted for wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. These are movies documenting the dramatic ups and downs of business phenomena driven by compelling figures who use their charms to lead investors and employees to irrational behavior and groupthink.

This means they are very good or at least largely popular.Rothstein’s film, his follow-up to 2018’s “The China Hustle,” is the latest entry in what I’m calling the capitalist-cult movie continuum.
