Buford Pusser: The Lying Lawman | 238
Buford Pusser was a small-town Tennessee sheriff who conned an entire country into believing he was a hero. He inspired a film franchise, folk songs, and multiple books – all painting him as a fearless vigilante taking on organized crime. But behind the legend lies a trail of abuse, corruption, and a grisly murder that raised questions everyone in Buford’s orbit had been too scared to ask. And when the Hollywood shine wears off, the lie people wanted to believe becomes harder to protect.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You Can See Everything: Elizabeth Holmes, Up Close and Impersonal | 239
Elizabeth Holmes checks off so many 21st century buzzwords: girlboss, tech founder, media darling, and fraudster. Now, she’s the subject of one of the buzziest documentaries in decades. Just a month before she was set to begin serving her 11-year sentence, Holmes welcomed comedian and prankster Nathan Fielder and documentarian Lance Oppenheim into her home to film everything – her emails, her journal, her family, her unwavering insistence that she did nothing wrong. More than three years later, the resulting documentary, You Can See Everything, is a box-office success and a masterclass in the question every scam story comes down to: who’s really fooling whom. We’re breaking it all down with New York Magazine features writer Alex Barasch, who recently published a profile of co-director Lance Oppenheim.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kevin Trudeau: As Schemed on TV | 234
Before he was a bestselling author and late-night TV fixture, Kevin Trudeau was hustling his way through multilevel marketing schemes. He worked his way onto infomercials, then into bookstores, building a fortune by peddling easy, feel-good answers to some of life’s hardest problems – your health, your weight, your money. He cast himself as a fearless whistleblower, the one guy brave enough to expose what doctors, banks, and the government didn’t want you to know. But the bigger his claims got and the fatter his bank account grew, the more the law came knocking – fines, lawsuits, indictments, even prison. And every single time, like a weed, Kevin Trudeau kept coming back for more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
