When is Netflix's Jeffrey Epstein documentary released?
Netflix has released the four-part documentary on Epstein today, Wednesday, May 27.
Who features in the docu-series?
Netflix’s official blurb for the series states that Epstein’s accusers will be the primary voices throughout.
“With their frightening firsthand accounts, Epstein’s accusers are the leading voices in director Lisa Bryant’s four-part docuseries Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich,” reads Netflix’s description.
“By revealing their emotional scars, some for the very first time, the sisterhood of survivors intend to stop predators — and the American justice system — from silencing the next generation.”
The series is directed by Lisa Bryant, who has produced a range of true crime documentaries, and produced by Joe Berlinger (Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes).
What is covered?
The series promises to cover Epstein’s rise to power, and uncover the details of his abuse.
The trailer shows glimpses of Epstein’s mansion and private island in the Caribbean, where he allegedly invited underaged women.
A number of Epstein’s victims are featured in the trailer, giving interviews and bravely promising to not stay silent.
The trailer also features the photograph reportedly taken by Epstein of Prince Andrew next to an alleged child sex trafficking victim named Virginia Roberts.
Netflix’s official synopsis states: “Leading up to his 2019 arrest, mysterious tycoon Jeffrey Epstein was accused of abusing women and underage girls for decades, assembling a network of enablers to help carry out and cover up his crimes.
“Epstein came from humble beginnings yet managed to lie and manipulate his way to the top of the financial world. He eventually gained tremendous wealth and power while running an international sex trafficking ring.”
It continues: “The serial sex abuser made a secret plea deal with the government in 2008 avoiding a potential life sentence and continued to abuse women.”
Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich will premiere Wednesday, May 27.
