Synopsis
Inside Bill's Brain: Decoding Bill Gates (2019) is a Netflix documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Across three episodes, director Davis Guggenheim takes apart how one of the richest minds on the planet actually works.
Guggenheim braids two threads: Gates's personal story — childhood, friendship, a wrenching loss — and the three problems he took on after stepping back from Microsoft. A toilet that needs no water or sewage, a safer nuclear reactor, and the last mile of wiping out polio. The camera catches him reading while he walks and bristling when the numbers don't add up.
The director of An Inconvenient Truth frames the billionaire with neither gloss nor a takedown, more as an engineer who can't not solve things. Melinda Gates fills in the half of the portrait Bill tends to skip. Good viewing for anyone after the logic rather than the résumé. Stream Inside Bill's Brain (2019) online on iFILM.
