Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon, transformed from the son of a teenage mother and a young man who took apart his own crib with a screwdriver into a global tech legend. This documentary chronicles the incredible life story of the man who forever changed the way the world shops. After leaving a secure Wall Street job in 1994, he ignored the advice of his colleagues and parents, moving to Seattle to build an online bookstore from his garage. His parents risked their entire retirement savings on the venture, an investment that would later become legendary. Witness Amazon’s rapid evolution from a simple bookseller into "the everything store" after a key insight from a thousand random customers. We examine the revolutionary creation of Amazon Prime and Amazon Web Services (AWS)—which even secured a massive contract with the CIA—and how they cemented Amazon's place as a cornerstone of the modern digital economy. However, Bezos’s aggressive business strategies have drawn major political scrutiny and controversy, including accusations of anti-competitive behavior and questions about the treatment and low wages of his warehouse workers. Hear the story of the man who rose from humble beginnings to become one of the world's richest people, an e-commerce pioneer who proves that passion and a simple idea can truly revolutionize a multi-billion dollar industry.
