Oh, those pyramid schemes. They prey on people’s weaknesses and neediness to rob them of their money and time. Similarly, Generation Zoe by Leonardo Cositorto was a Ponzi scheme that took in huge amounts of money, paid back only a small part, and swallowed the rest amidst big promises and wild dreams. For most pyramid schemes working this way many speakers were talking about self-improvement and the next big car they would buy but how could these dreams come true? That was why Cositorto got arrested in 2022 when his company finally collapsed in the Dominican Republic.
In brief, the documentary film is short with lots of drama and nice background music acting as a fact sheet. There is also some element of despair or sadness for vulnerable persons who trusted so much but later found themselves victims as different people’s perspectives are being featured while victims now discuss why they joined Zoe and how they thought that their lives would change.
The little things discussed in this movie will make you think that it’s an MLM company and there will be shockingly striking similarities among them all everyone should know about. It is just “claimed” anyway, but there are similarities nonetheless making one increasingly shocked as more information comes out. The film does well to paint pictures we can all relate to and more importantly we have already seen its dramatic nature.
Another aspect of any “good” pyramid scheme is its leader, whom the documentary mentions anything related to Leonardo Cositorto. The person has been presented as having magnetic charm who sold dreams too well through encouragement all along. We also see the leader appear here and there in the show- it seems to be happening at present, however, I did not love these moments because they made no sense whatsoever. But whenever you show me Leonardo Cositorto speaking directly into my face like this my mind travels elsewhere!

However, the film did not maintain its serious tone enough and it seemed like a joke that made light of this con incident. Yes, it is quite entertaining and even funny in some ways but does not aspire to anything higher. Fortunately, just after that, the movie gets to the point with a grim outlook on how innocents faced insane corruption and unethical money laundering alongside intimidation simply because they dared dream.
In conclusion, Illusions for Sale: The Rise and Fall of Generation Zoe combines dark humor with true crime. I know the tone takes getting used to but at the end it balances out two points very well. It’s honest with loads of real-life images as well as videos supporting what is said. Also, the whole story unfolds before our eyes showing how much damage such things can cause through an occasional humorous touch here which makes it seem funny sometimes.
