Girls Gone Wild: The Untold Story directed by Peabody and Emmy® Award-winning filmmaker,
Jamila Wignot, offers an astonishing investigative look into the life and career of Joe Francis, a man whose name and multi-million dollar “Girls Gone Wild” empire were inescapable in the early 2000s. The docuseries, streaming exclusively on Peacock, includes Francis’ first in-depth, in- person interview with a journalist in almost a decade, drawn from Scaachi Koul’s on-the-record conversation at his Mexican compound, which spanned nearly nine hours, powerful personal accounts from 11 former employees and survivors, and never-before-broadcast video and audio recordings.
“Girls Gone Wild” had a cultural hold on America’s teens before the grand spread of social media. A virtual ground zero for “bro culture,” the company originally presented itself as a series of tapes featuring the ‘girl next door’ having a wild time at spring break. But what was truly happening under the surface was much darker, including allegations of sexual coercion and exploitation.
