“The Waleed Ahmed Story”
The charismatic young entrepreneur Waleed Ahmed started his own company at age 18, and was referred to as "The Norwegian Mark Zuckerberg". He quickly gained access to politicians, diplomats, and royalty. His short-lived and grandiose career ended with an arrest by the FBI and an 11-year prison sentence for fraud. This portrait tells a larger narrative of belonging, identity, fraud, and dreams.
