# Peru's Bitcoin Revolution

Created by **Julian Figueroa** of *Kinetic Finance*, *Peru’s Bitcoin Revolution* explores how Bitcoin is empowering indigenous communities in Peru through **MOTIV**, a non-profit building Bitcoin-based micro-economies. The film follows a journey through the Andes and Amazon, documenting how Bitcoin is transforming lives.

The project raised over **27M sats (\~$10K)** from **143 contributors**, entirely in Bitcoin — proving that community-funded storytelling can capture and share Bitcoin’s impact globally.
