Reply to Zero Days (2016) - Stuxnet, a piece of self-replicating computer malware that the U.S. and Israel unleashed to destroy a key part of an Iranian nuclear facility, and which ultimately spread beyond its intended target. [01:53:51] by Missing_Trillions

I watched this documentary & although it gives a reasonable layman's guide to the events & technology around Stuxnet & other issues, due to factors perhaps beyond the makers control it give a far from comprehensive & sometimes factually incorrect account.

Grifter. They never paid the artists, so there was basically no chance there would be music at their "festival". This documentary spends precious little time talking about it.

The organizers breathlessly talking about how they were balls to the wall trying to get the site finished glossed over the fact that they must have known that the artists were not coming. The only reason they kept up this pretense was so they could grift those kids into loading up their prepaid accounts.

I thought the purpose of Billy being there was to set the record straight and provide some kind of clarity on what happened from the higher ups. But Billy being Billy didn't do any of that, giving obviously false answers or refusing to answer certain questions. If his goal was to clear his name, he failed miserably and this played out in the producers favour.
