Feature-length documentary following DeepMind's AlphaGo program as it prepares for and plays the 2016 match against Go champion Lee Sedol. It covers the team, the games, and the emotional reaction of the Go world to an AI beating a top human.

Why Hacker News readers recommend it: HN commenters call it a moving, well-made human story about AI and Go that works for non-technical viewers and does not date.

“I consider AlphaGo - The Movie [1] to be a timeless classic that will never feel outdated.”
