... that critics praised Rosario Dawson's narration in Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain for its clarity and engagement, despite the film's complex subject matter?

Source:
- "With input from technologists, entrepreneurs, currency experts, news analysts and others, a wide, kinetic array of archival clips and more recent visuals, and Rosario Dawson’s crisply voiced narration, the movie engagingly outlines blockchain’s role as the underlying technology behind such digital currencies as bitcoin (which gets its own dissection), plus its growing part in accounting practices, music industry payments and renewable energy markets." LA Times
- "Moviegoers who still think that “Bitcoin” and “blockchain” are synonyms will have their eyes opened by Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain, an engaging doc..." "Winter and narrator Rosario Dawson whisk us back to the 2008 economic collapse" The Hollywood Reporter
- "The fast-paced, globe-hopping documentary “Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain” provides plenty of words, examples and context to help define its complex subject, blockchain technology. Still, it’s unlikely that less initiated viewers will be able to fully explain, without a crib sheet, what they’ve just learned. That’s no fault of this well-assembled film, or its capable writer-director, Alex Winter...but, rather, of the elusive concept of blockchain..." LA Times"

ALT1: ... that musical artist Imogen Heap is featured in Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain, discussing how blockchain could enable direct micropayments from fans to artists? Source: "songwriters like Imogen Heap believe it could even help fix the carnage Napster caused, letting fans support artists directly with micropayments. The DJ Gramatik went even further than Heap, making his entire discography available on file-sharing sites and selling shares in his career via crypto." Hollywood Reporter
ALT2: ... that the 2018 documentary film Trust Machine: The Story of Blockchain features UNICEF exploring blockchain as a means to give stateless refugees official identities?
Source:
- "In one of the most tangible examples, a group within UNICEF is exploring blockchain as a means of giving refugees official identities independent of the failed nations they’re fleeing — eliminating vast amounts of bureaucracy on individuals’ long roads to aid and safety." The Hollywood Reporter
- "We learn how, thanks to blockchain, neighbors in Brooklyn can trade solar electricity; how the technology might provide records for stateless refugees; and how it offers a way for fans to buy equity in an artist they like, without the middle men who come with sales on the internet." New York Times

The article is long enough, new enough, and neutral. I don't see any copyright violations, and I assume good faith on the paid subscription source. I prefer ALT2, but the promoter can choose the hook. SL93 (talk) 07:46, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
