Join Robert Scheer and Clare O’Connor’s ASCJ 210 class in a Q&A with filmmaker Chris Temple and his team as they discuss their new film, This Is Not Financial Advice.

The documentary follows Glauber “Pro” Contessoto — an immigrant working multiple jobs and living in a 220-square-foot apartment — who gambles his life savings on a joke cryptocurrency. Two months later, he becomes “The Dogecoin Millionaire” and a hero to his growing YouTube following.

It’s easy to get rich online. But as Pro will soon discover, it’s even easier to lose it all. Amateur investors like Pro must navigate a landscape that’s rife with scams, bad advice, and a fear of missing out. This Is Not Financial Advice exposes the startling risks and rewards of today’s market through expert commentary and the anxiety-inducing stories of real people trying to make millions.
