Introducing the Boost Documentary! Teaser & CppCon Preview

"If I were to tell a story about Boost, I'd start with the people."

Today we're sharing the official teaser for the Boost documentary. A film about the people, the politics, and decades of work behind possibly the most important open source library most people have never heard of.

Teaser link – [https://youtu.be/87jvuDbnwqQ](https://youtu.be/87jvuDbnwqQ)

The documentary looks at:

* Boost as a kind of "app store for C++, 30 years early"
* What decades of open source dedication looks like up close
* The honest, sometimes uncomfortable dynamics of how proposals and people move through the C++ committee

There will be a preview screening at CppCon 2026 for all attendees. So if you're going to be in Aurora, CO September 16, 2026, please join us!
