WeWork documentary deftly chronicles the fall of the $47 billion startup Director Jed Rothstein talks about his new Hulu doc and telling WeWork's story. Listen - 03:42 WeWork co-founder Adam Neumann. Getty Images If there were a hall of fame for corporate implosions, one of the most stunning recent inductees would be WeWork. The co-working startup -- once valued at $47 billion -- seemingly crumbled in front of everyone's eyes in 2019 as it approached an IPO. Offering not just a place to plug in your laptop but also a statement on the power of community, preached by charismatic founder Adam Neumann, WeWork is now the subject of a documentary called WeWork, or the Making and Breaking of a $47 Billion Unicorn. The film is a thorough look at WeWork's rise and fall that does a good job explaining the business side of the ride and the emotional toll it took. The film is making its debut virtually at SXSW, with plans to hit Hulu in April.
