Tech Billionaires: Mark Zuckerberg

At 19, Mark Zuckerberg launched Facebook from a cramped Harvard dorm room, and this documentary traces how a campus project became a global platform. The film follows Zuckerberg's early coding, the site's rapid expansion, and the shifting role Facebook played in social life and commerce. It touches on his rise to massive wealth, the company's increasing power, and the ways a single product reshaped how people share information and connect online. Interviews and archival material present events from the founding years through later controversies, without revealing hidden conclusions, aiming to show the sequence of decisions and cultural shifts that made Facebook a dominant force. The film balances first-person testimony with context about Silicon Valley culture and the era's tech optimism.

Released in 2021, the documentary was created and directed by Roxane Schlumberger. It features Mark Zuckerberg speaking on camera, with Lee Jagow providing voiceover, and blends interviews, archival footage, and narration to tell the story and includes recent industry interviews.

Box office details for this documentary are limited, with no widely reported worldwide gross. It appears to have had a modest release, relying more on streaming and festival screenings than wide theatrical runs, and community screenings supplemented its overall visibility.

The film revisits how Facebook changed online conversation, advertising, and news distribution, and how Zuckerberg became emblematic of tech-era founders. Even if the documentary is limited, the subject remains central to debates about privacy, platform power, and social trust. The name Facebook and Zuckerberg appear in political and tech debates in many countries.

Reception has been mixed to negative, reflected in a low user score on one platform, 4.0/10 from a single vote. Critics and viewers tend to note themes of ambition, innovation, corporate influence, and the tensions between connectivity and privacy. Some viewers note few new revelations, though archival footage remains useful.
