If you’re also stuck in quarantine searching for old conspiracy theories at 2 in the morning then get in line, bud, ’cause there’s a newer, bigger one coming to Netflix. In 2019, the name Jeffrey Epstein might ring a bell as he was arrested on charges of child sex trafficking after dodging rumors and justice for many years. Two months later, though, if you’ve been watching your conspiracies, then it’s not news for you that he’s died after an apparent suicide. The thing is, Epstein has relationships with the most powerful, influential, and fellow rich men with the likes of now-president Donald Trump, Alan Dershowitz, and Bill Clinton. That’s where suspicions start surrounding his death.
However, Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich may not go in that deep into the ocean although the upcoming streaming giant docuseries will be boasting of Epstein’s past––not missing out on any little detail just for the people to realize how uncomfortable the truth will be, some even unbearable to unearth. With its first trailer having been released today, the docuseries will see Lisa Bryant directing and Joe Berlinger as one of the executive producers. RadicalMedia alongside novelist James Patterson, who published his own book about Epstein in 2016, will be producing.
Here’s the official synopsis: “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. The serial sex abuser made a secret plea deal with the government in 2008 avoiding a potential life sentence and continued to abuse women. With their frightening firsthand accounts, Epstein’s accusers are the leading voices in director Lisa Bryant’s four-part docuseries. 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.”
