The $20B Mistake That Destroyed BlackBerry

BlackBerry once ruled the mobile world. Its physical keyboard, secure email system, and BBM transformed how businesses, governments, and millions of people communicated. But after Apple introduced the iPhone and Android began spreading rapidly, BlackBerry struggled to adapt. Touchscreens, mobile apps, delayed software, failed products, service outages, and strategic mistakes gradually pushed the former smartphone leader out of the market. This documentary explores BlackBerry’s complete story—from the founding of Research In Motion and the company’s extraordinary rise to its smartphone collapse and transformation into a software and cybersecurity business.
