IBM commissioned two films by Errol Morris for their actual centennial.*
100x100: https://youtube.com/watch?v=atjPROSOSDs https://youtube.com/watch?v=atjPROSOSDs
They Were There: https://youtube.com/watch?v=MmVCePfMXAU https://youtube.com/watch?v=MmVCePfMXAU
I think They Were There is incredible in that it features the actual rank-and-file employees who did the work… insofar as Mandelbrot may be considered a rank-and-file employee.
*not sure if 100x100 was by Errol Morris, or if that was just my assumption.
