- **Event Start and End Date**: Mon, 20 Apr, 2026 at 06:45 pm – Mon, 20 Apr, 2026 at 08:45 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Advance Screening: EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY featuring Q&A with filmmaker Ben McKenzie, moderated by journalist Mehdi Hasan

In his directorial debut, actor and author Ben McKenzie (THE OC, GOTHAM) turns investigator, pulling back the curtain on the cryptocurrency industry and the culture of hype, misinformation and speculation that fueled its explosive rise. What began as a promise of financial freedom has evolved into a volatile ecosystem rife with fraud and reckless gambling, carrying with it devastating consequences for everyday people. Through firsthand reporting, expert interviews and a clear-eyed examination of major collapses and scandals, the film traces how crypto became one of the most aggressively marketed financial products of the modern era — and how warning signs were ignored, dismissed or deliberately obscured. As fortunes are made and lost, EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY asks a sobering question: Who benefits from the chaos, and who is left to clean up the damage? Accessible, urgent and often darkly ironic, the film is both a cautionary tale and a call for accountability — cutting through the noise to expose a system built on speculation, influence and belief rather than truth. NOT RATED

EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY also screens on Sat, April 25, 6:15 p.m. + Q&A with filmmaker Ben McKenzie (Mehdi Hasan will not attend that screening)
