Email to Bill Gates

About This Movie

Email to Bill Gates is an intriguing exploration of childhood hope against a backdrop of loss. The story follows a young German boy, who, after his father's death, sets out with his grandfather to find the tech titan in Seattle. The pacing might feel a bit off at times, but it really gives you space to sit with the emotions of grief and aspiration. The atmosphere is a blend of innocence and determination, with a touch of nostalgia for the early 2000s tech boom. While the performances are not award-winning, the rawness of the boy's determination is quite touching. It stands out for its unusual premise, focusing on the intersection of personal tragedy and the modern age, something not often explored in TV movies.
