Bitcoinfilm.org has released its first short documentary: a look at the bitcoin market in Argentina, where currency controls and inflation running in the double-digits has been hitting would-be savers hard.

"There is much potential in bitcoins and too few people know about it," the Bitcoinfilm.org website states. "We want to make several small documentaries and uncover some of the fantastic and life-changing stories that involves bitcoin."

According to the site, the Bitcoinfilm.org team includes film producer Stefan Godskesen, "technology enthusiast" Mathias Linnemann and bitcoin user Jacob Hansen.
