Just finished watching both of Alex Winter's documentary films. Best known for his role as Bill S. Preston, Esq. in the Bill & Ted movies, I had no idea how profound, engaging, and fascinating his work was as a director.
DOWNLOADED (2013) is a magnificent personal account of the birth of Napster from its creators and of the revolutionary impact it had on the distribution of media. And DEEP WEB (2015) exposes and examines the massive corruption behind the prosecution of The Dread Pirate Roberts after the shutdown of The Silk Road. Deep Web was suspenseful right up until the final words splashed across the screen - words which infuriate the audience at the revelation of the injustice surrounding the trial and at the potential cost to civil liberties thereafter.
Both films became instant favorites.
