This 2016 American documentary, directed by Nanette Burstein, focuses on John McAfee's tumultuous time in Belize, where the antivirus software pioneer relocated after financial setbacks and built a fortified compound surrounded by armed guards. It explores his eccentric lifestyle, involvement in herbal medicine ventures, police raids over drug suspicions, and his status as a person of interest in the 2012 murder of neighbor Gregory Faull following disputes over McAfee's dogs. Through interviews with former associates, employees, and alleged victims, along with archival footage, the film examines claims of paranoia, corruption, sexual misconduct, and McAfee's evasion of authorities, portraying his descent from tech mogul to fugitive in the Central American jungle.
