“It has been an exciting and fascinating experience, making this film as Facebook nears its twentieth anniversary," Nancy Bornat, Executive Producer, Rogan Productions said. "Getting to grips with one of the world's most powerful and enigmatic figures of our times, we've been able to document rare insights on a man who has changed all of our lives.”
