Startup.com
This riveting 'rags to riches' documentary tells the story of two lifelong friends who, at the peak of the 90s internet frenzy, create their own website govWorks.com, for people to handle various government tasks via computer. The contrast between the elation of the firm's initial success and it's eventual downfall is unflinchingly detailed, as business pressures take their toll on the partners.
