I’ve had the pleasure of watching this movie in a theatre last year with
Benjamin Strick, followed by a live interview. The documentary tells the story about how Bellingcat was started and shares some insight into the personal lives of some of its members.

You may just have to do some OSINT work to find it somewhere…
