The film tells the story of WeWork, a New York coworking company co-founded by Miguel McKelvey and Adam Neumann. They both grew up in communal living spaces - a commune in Oregon for McKelvey and an Israeli kibbutz for Neumann. Their dream was outlined as a form of "capitalistic kibbutz", which took the form of building a series of expensive and beautiful office spaces in New York City. These facilities were little more than shared, open-plan offices with free food and drink, but Neumann sold it as a new way of living. He wasn't renting desks for freelancers, entrepreneurs, dreamers and startups - he was building "The We Community". This wasn't just Regus with better furniture. No, this would change the world.
