Illusions for Sale: The Rise and Fall of Generation Zoe

3 reviews
7/10

An unbelievable documentary that left some things out

I remember living this while it happened through Twitter. The whole story was unbelievable, every time something happened it was even more funnier than before. It took place during ~2 years, particularly during the COVID pandemic. It generated tons (and I mean: tons) of memes because how weird, unexpected and fanciful the whole story was.

This documentary tells the story of Cositorto, a salesmen + preacher who created Generation Zoe, a Ponzi scheme across many countries in Latin America, and even in some countries in Europe.

While all the crucial points of the story are there, I felt like there could have made a better job explaining more about the promises made to deliver money and some of the supposed business Generation Zoe was investing in. While the most important are there, others were left out.

There are some witnesses telling their stories, how they got into it, how they got out (if they did), and even interviews from Cositorto itself.

I had a great time, lots of memories came in, but I felt that if you didn't know anything about the story, it wouldn't be that great. I watched it with my girlfriend and I had to add some clarifications or explanations for some points of the story.
