Fyre Festival documentary (Hulu version) was pretty wild and worth watching, but I do think the "what does this tell us about millennials" trope is becoming an analytical crutch for contextualizing way too much disparate phenomena

OK, I guess I'll just watch it. Otherwise I'd spend all night ranting about BuzzFeed and Russia

Netflix version also good. I appreciate the lack of trite millennial-theorizing. (Yeah, I know the guys who produced it were probably in on the fraud.) Most damning part by far is the Bahamian locals getting scammed out of payment after weeks/months of hard labor.

There was a thread somewhere I can’t find now about how the Netflix one included a bunch of the festival promoters and film producers without identifying them as such

I like the first bit and then it got too cringey when it started to seem clear they had no plan for logistics! I can only imagine how the train wreck evolves. Pop some corn!

Cringey meaning the documentary was well done I just was afraid to keep watching

Seems to stick to the facts of the festival with lots of insiders for perspective I didn't know much about it before it was informative and only about 90 minutes

Watched it today. It’s good. 1st 45 minutes better, deals with how it came to be. A little scrambled the last 30 minutes, imo.

Hulu one is better but the Netflix one has a ton of the actual footage of planning cause the media company he was working with partnered with them for the doc (and then pretended they weren’t complicit).

It was good. I didn't know there were different versions. I bet they're similar
