Hah, learned about the existence of this documentary just 3 days ago while researching how .zips work[0]. The last episode is supposedly about Phil Katz, co-inventor of the format and kind of a tragic figure.

Fun fact: Due to their structure, the first two bytes of many .zips are 0x50 4B, or PK–his initials–in ASCII.
