Anthony Kiedis: The Cycle of Abuse

Fame, addiction, and the stories that got retold as rock and roll legend.

File 003 / A series

The Prediction Machine

Americans have bet on elections for more than 150 years, and the idea keeps coming back in a new costume. It thrives, and someone gets hurt. Today it moves billions of dollars a month through apps in everyone's pocket. We are following the money, and the people it lands on.

Do you study markets, gambling, or the people caught in them? We would like to talk to you.

02 / Who we are

Documentary filmmakers and independent journalists.

Delinquent Films is dedicated to telling authentic stories. In an era where agenda-driven content and viral grifting dominate, we set out to flip that on its head.

We are filmmakers who do our own digging, cut our own films, and answer to our audience.

One crew. Equal partners. Every one of us directs, produces, writes, and edits, and every film belongs to all of us.

How we work

The subjects are dark. The work is careful.

TO: Anyone we interview, and anyone who watches

FROM: Delinquent Films

RE: How we do this

  1. 01

    Every claim is sourced.

    Every fact in a film traces back to a record, a study, or reporting we can point to.

  2. 02

    Both sides, and the evidence.

    We put the strongest counterargument on screen and let the evidence carry the point.

  3. 03

    Empathy for everyone in the story.

    Including the people who are easy to judge. Nobody gets flattened into a cartoon.

  4. 04

    No shock for its own sake.

    We show hard material plainly. We never sensationalize it.

If you sit down with us

You will know what the film is about before the camera rolls, and what you say will be represented fairly.
