‘Click Below The Line’ Trailer: Doc Probes Promises & Methods Of Internet Gurus Such As Akbar Sheikh, Tai Lopez & Russell Brunson
DeadlineThursday, June 26, 2025 at 7:51:42 AM
A new documentary called Click Below The Line dives into the flashy, high-stakes world of internet gurus like Akbar Sheikh, Tai Lopez, and Russell Brunson—figures who’ve built empires selling digital marketing courses and lifestyle advice. The film, premiering at New Zealand’s DocEdge festival, questions their methods and the hefty price tags (think $7,500 for a single course) attached to their promises of quick success. The trailer, released exclusively by Deadline, hints at a critical look at whether these gurus deliver real value or just slick sales pitches.
Editor’s Note: Online "get rich quick" schemes and self-proclaimed gurus have been around for years, but this doc could pull back the curtain on whether they’re helping people or exploiting them. With more folks turning to the internet for side hustles and career changes, understanding the ethics (or lack thereof) behind these programs matters—especially when they cost thousands. If the film delivers, it might make viewers think twice before clicking "buy now."
