WeWork: or The Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn

WeWork: or The Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn (2021) is a documentary you can watch online on iFILM. It traces how a company that mostly sublet office desks ballooned into a multibillion-dollar valuation, then came apart over a single autumn.

At the center sits Adam Neumann, the charismatic founder with a messiah streak who sold investors his own legend more than any product. Free beer, slogans about reinventing how the world works, parties scaled like a rock tour — and books that fell apart the moment anyone looked closely. Director Jed Rothstein gathers former staff and boom-era footage to show, step by step, how a great story stood in for an actual business.

It's made for anyone who likes a good startup-collapse tale and wants to grasp how venture money kept betting on thin air for years. Stream WeWork (2021) online on iFILM.
