Nothing beats a good documentary and one about one of the most influential people of the 21st century is sure to be a winner.

Mark Zuckerberg went from Harvard student to the founder and CEO of one of, if not the, biggest social media platforms of recent times – Facebook and Meta. This creation connected people across the world and enabled ordinary Facebook users to overthrow oppressive regimes but the platform also enabled less positive uses.

The official synopsis, released by Sky, reads:

“In January 2004, Mark Zuckerberg embarked on a coding journey that would change the world. Two decades later, this feature-length documentary tells the inside story of the extraordinary events that shaped Zuckerberg's life and career, and the profound impact they’ve had on all our lives. Told through key figures and rarely seen archive, Zuckerberg: King of the Metaverse charts the rise of the world’s youngest billionaire, a man lauded for connecting half the global population and enabling ordinary Facebook users to overthrow oppressive regimes.

But, just as the platforms Zuckerberg created helped uprisings in parts of the Arab world, other political players harnessed their powers for less positive aims and Facebook was accused of encouraging misinformation and helping to fuel genocide in Myanmar. Mark Zuckerberg’s social network had proved its power for driving change, but was it all desirable and was anyone ultimately accountable?

As Zuckerberg remains at the helm of his ever-expanding Metaverse, this digital-age empire story delves into themes of power, privacy, mistrust and disinformation, shining a light on an enigmatic man whose influence shapes the destiny of our world.”
