Interesting But Unsatisfying
This documentary shows WHAT happened to this ridiculous "dot com" adventure but it doesn't show enough HOW or WHY. There's too much emphasis on personal stuff. We don't get to see much about how the web site/business functions. I want to know more about the financial state of affairs, how investors reacted, etc. It just shows the business getting up with a huge staff and then jumps to a virtually empty office.Kaleil is a young man in over his head who had good intentions and great ambition but no experience and little business savvy. Tom Herman is a pissy, whiney little brat, but somehow Kaleil puts up with him.There was too much chatter between Tom and Kaleil and not enough "documenting" of GovWorks, an archetype of the "dot com" mania.
