AlphaGo
The ancient Chinese game of Go has long been considered a grand challenge for artificial intelligence. Yet in 2016, Google's DeepMind team announced that they would be taking on Lee Sedol, the world's most elite Go champion. AlphaGo chronicles the team as it prepares to test the limits of its rapidly-evolving AI technology. The film pits man against machine, and reveals as much about the workings of the human mind as it does the future of AI.

7/ I got in touch with Greg after seeing another film he created called AlphaGo, about DeepMind's program that defeated the Go champion, Lee Sedol. It was a powerful story, and it's what convinced me to trust him to tell our story.
The Martian
During a manned mission to Mars, Astronaut Mark Watney is presumed dead after a fierce storm and left behind by his crew. But Watney has survived and finds himself stranded and alone on the hostile planet. With only meager supplies, he must draw upon his ingenuity, wit and spirit to subsist and find a way to signal to Earth that he is alive.

Rewatched The Martian last night - what a great film. It’s one of the only tech positive films out there. There is no villain in the story. It cares about scientific accuracy instead of making up random nonsense. Imagine a society that had more of this in the culture.
