The BBC has already began making ready for Facebook’s twentieth anniversary in 2024: The broadcaster has introduced that its factual leisure group has commissioned a three-part documentary about Mark Zuckerberg and the social community he based. Facebook’s story is fairly well-known at this level, and it’s normal data that Zuckerberg initially designed it to attach college students at Harvard. And that the Winklevoss twins sued the Meta chief, claiming he stole their thought. BBC, nevertheless, goals to current a “definitive account” of Mark Zuckerberg and the social community he based.
That means no dramatized occasions like within the 2010 David Fincher-directed movie starring Jesse Eisenberg. Instead, BBC guarantees entry to “key gamers, insider testimony, private journals and uncommon archive materials.” Mindhouse, the TV manufacturing firm behind the challenge, can even look at the rise of the social media and the way it has modified human conduct and interplay. It’s unclear if the documentary can even look at Facebook’s function in spreading faux information world wide.
Nancy Strang, Minhouse Creative Director, Mindhouse, mentioned in an announcement:
“The exceptional story of Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook is likely one of the tales of our time. He has arguably achieved extra to rework human behaviour and connectivity than some other particular person this century. I’m thrilled that we have been given this chance to inform the extraordinary inside story of the social media big, and the person behind it.”
The docuseries, which has a working title of Zuckerberg, has no premiere date but. But it’ll air on BBC Two and shall be streamable from BBC iPlayer when it comes out.
