From the directors of Fyre Fraud, new documentary series LuLaRich delves into the world of LuLaRoe, the billion dollar clothing empire accused of misleading thousands of women with their multi-level marketing platform.
The four-part docuseries follows how the infamous company recruited thousands of women across the United States to sell their increasingly bizarre – and often defective – clothing products.
Through interviews with co-founders DeAnne and Mark Stidham and former LuLaRoe employees, the series unveils how it all went wrong for the company, leading to dozens of lawsuits and stories of cult-like behaviour.
"LuLaRich is a modern comedy of errors with important social commentary," the co-directors said, according to Vulture.
"We knew from day one that the world needed another look at this wacky MLM turned dumpster fire, and think this could be the birth of a whole new doc genre... True-Comedy."
If you liked On Becoming a God in Central Florida, you'll love LuLaRich.
LuLaRich premieres on Amazon Prime Video on September 10.
