    Wonderful and insightful

    Beautifully captured about an untold story in Africa that is insightful for all. The cinematography is lovely, and perspectives from different communities contrasts that of Westernized societies. It is an insightful documentary. Luke Willms showcases concepts that should be more talked about, and any viewer will walk away learning more about mobile money, digital lending, bitcoin, and financial technologies. I enjoyed seeing that his love for the country, and growing up in Africa was what sparked his passion in interest in this very important concept. Those interviewed had heartwarming stories, and real perspectives that are engaging.

    Wonderful!

    Very well done! Enjoyed how informative this movie is. There is a sense of knowledge, deeper aspirations and a full creative investigation which brings you down a path of global realization for how we could make a difference. On a personal level and on a larger community involvement, we could flourish. It is interesting to see how other cultures handle their challenges and the paths they choose. In a world where you can't tell what someone is going to change next that can affect the masses, a community can band together in allowing all to help each other when the ones with 'power' do not and chose selfishly or to pay their backers.
