From Bars To Bitcoin tells the story of Justin Rhedrick, a former convict turned Bitcoin entrepreneur, who is on-boarding the global Black community to Bitcoin.

"Filmed over three years across four continents, Dirty Coin takes viewers deep into the real-world practice of Bitcoin mining. From rural Texas to the mountains of Malawi, the film explores a wide range of mining operations—some sustainable, some controversial—and the communities behind them. Through interviews with energy experts, miners, and local residents, it paints a nuanced picture of a rapidly evolving industry. Whether you're new to Bitcoin or part of the movement, Dirty Coin offers a fresh perspective on how mining is impacting the world today." - dirtycointhemovie.com
