I enjoyed watching it!
It represents the apes and all the things that happened in a great way. The Mulligans did a marvelous job by telling the story of this movement from the beginning.
What I liked most is that it explaines a lot of stock markets terms in a very simple (and somethimes hilarious;-) way so anybody that is not familiar with it can watch and also understand it.
I would recommend this documentary to anybody that wants to know who the apes are.
Because it only covers a specific time frame (but a good one to explain the build ups to some events) there is room to make a part 2.
I'm looking forward to it!

Incredible documentary talking about the Gamestop story.
But this is about more than just what happened to Gamestop. Interviewing people who have been at the heart of the saga for the last few years, they touch on everything from what happened in January 2021 to how Robinhood works to how Citadel continues to fail to deliver and how the market is really structured.
Needs to be a must watch for every investor because people don't realize the stock market is rigged. Has been for decades. Michael Lewis told the world in 'Flash Boys' in 2013 and no one listened.
Hopefully people are listening now.

The Mulligans really did a fantastic job with this documentary.
It is funny, witty and the most important thing of all, it gives you the information and the whole story that the main stream media and the one percenters doesn't want you to have.
Forget about all the other "meme stock" documentaries. If you want to learn about the rotten and corrupt US stock marked, watch this. Even if you're not invested in Game Stop, AMC etc
Hell, even if you live outside the US, you should care. Just look at what happened in 2008. The wrongdoings of big banks and wall street threw the whole world in a financial crisis. And if nothing is done to change the rules and regulations of the financial markets, this will happen again.
THIS affects you.

The Mulligan brothers have created an aesthetically, captivating, fine-tuned information dump of the greatest financial crime organization, still in business today. Ape Together Strong breaks down how hedgefunds, banks, and the government are fleecing money from you, the average citizen consumer, at every high-frequency trading second. The film displays the corruption that is allowed to occur in our markets from a digestible, systematic level of a highly convoluted and vague system. I remember when the buy button was taken away in January of 2021. This film makes a strong case that our definition of "free market capitalism" is nothing more than shadows, ghosts, phantoms consisting of price fixing, pension stealing, spoofing, and other RICO related crimes. The film showcases how by taking a bet on yourself, you can hodl forever.

Covering the buildup to the current state of an ongoing issue which will affect people's money across the world, this documentary succinctly explains what is actually happening behind the curtain of finance and the disastrous effects of a de-regulated market.
For the person who is too busy with work to study up on the markets, this is one to buy and watch twice. Many different Americans are represented and explain their perspective including household investors, short sellers, and regulators to name a few.
The story describes this once in a lifetime opportunity, this ongoing David-and-Goliath battle, which is currently poised to affect countless individuals in a time when it appears all watchdog agencies have failed American and international investors.
Will the Apes outlast the hedge funds and be the harbingers of a new era, or will the lack of regulation and transparency pull the hoodwink over the people once again for a '08 Financial Crisis on steroids?
Only time will tell, but if you don't see this documentary, you'll watch it years down the road and wish you had.
10/10, marvelous.

I loved it, well worth the purchase price. It was funny and clever and clear in its presentation of a complex topic layered over a multi-year saga that involves hundreds of thousands (if not millions or more) of individual players interacting in a non-uniform way. Well worth the investment of time and money.
I particularly enjoyed the segments by people who understand market structures like Dave Lauer and Dr Trimbath. Because they have a greater knowledge base to pull from they have identified specific and actionable ways to adjust the market system and make it more fair for the people who try to use that system to gain financial stability (regular people, i.e. The poors).

So first off I would like to say I'm not really good at explaining to people what exactly is going on. I find myself adding too many characters to the GameStop Saga when explaining it. I don't do a good job at explaining how the market works because A. It's convoluted to begin with and B. I find myself jumping to concepts that are so counterintuitive to what people think is going on. I can almost see it in their eyes. That glossy eye look and I know I lost them along the way.
I love this film for how well it summarizes and goes over the basics of the Markets. It does it with humor. How it shows the pain and frustration of the people who were cheated. It really does capture a quick peek into the community that grew from it too. This isn't over by any stretch of the imagination. I can't wait to show this to my friends and family.

For the first time, we get to hear the story of GME's meteoric rise from the Apes' perspective. The Mulligan brother's pull no punches and lay bare the corruption of short sellers, market makers and hedge funds that have seized control of the US capital markets in order to enrich themselves at the expense of working class household investors. Through naked shorts, failures to deliver, and rehypothecation Wallstreet artificially inflates the supply of companies' shares and suppresses share prices. They call it sophisticated trading, in Texas we call it stealing.
For all the Apes out there, this is the one. Our humor, from our brothers and sisters, telling our story. The opening and closing taglines say it all:
