PEACOCK'S NEW DOCUSERIES "GIRLS GONE WILD: THE UNTOLD STORY" GOES INSIDE THE CULTURAL PHENOMENON TO REVEAL THE DARK UNDERBELLY OF JOE FRANCIS' WORLD

· GIRLS GONE WILD: THE UNTOLD STORY directed by Peabody and Emmy(R) 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, premiering December 3 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.

ABOUT GIRLS GONE WILD: THE UNTOLD STORY:
Before the spread of social media and easy access to online porn, Joe Francis' multi-million dollar "Girls Gone Wild" franchise, a series of tapes sold on late night television that featured young spring breakers baring their breasts for T-shirts and hats, had a shocking grip on popular culture. Including Francis' first in-depth, in-person, on-the-record interview with a journalist in almost a decade, as well as exclusive access to his former employees, enemies, and survivors, Girls Gone Wild: The Untold Story offers an astonishing and wide-ranging account of a man whose impact on American culture cannot be overstated, whose alleged sins are numerous, and who now lives in exile on a sprawling estate in Mexico amidst the rubble of his once mighty empire.
