Recently, a government-backed bank in Brazil was reported to be financing a documentary film using its own ether (ETH)-based stablecoin, BNDES token. The production of the documentary reportedly involves local cinema producer Elo Company, whose movie “The Boy and the World” by Alê Abreu was nominated for an Oscar in 2016.
