Academy Award-winning documentary filmmaker Alex Gibney has spent his career uncovering mass corruption and scandals across Big Tech, politics, and corporate America with films including Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, Taxi to the Dark Side, The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley, and Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief. It’s the kind of storytelling that’s had real-world impact—it’s also the kind of storytelling that desperately needs funding. In this conversation, Gibney sits down with billionaire philanthropist Wendy Schmidt to explain why he sold her a majority stake in his production company, what these types of documentaries mean in this current sociopolitical climate, and what truths will be uncovered in his next slate of projects.
