Documentaries: Crypto Scams, Sexuality Researchers And Stars

What notable documentary titles might we expect in 2023? The calendar of documentaries is still in the works, according to the respected British Guardian, but what is known is that projects about the stars Michael J Fox, Little Richard, Pamela Anderson, and others should reach the audience), reviews about the artist Nam June Paik and the researcher Shere Hite's sexuality, as well as stories about big scams, should reach the audience (more movies about the collapse of the crypto exchange FTX.)

"Little Richard: I Am Everything"

Following a string of critically praised films about black American music pioneers, a film about the forefather of R&B, Little Richard, is released. According to reports, it will premiere at Sundance and will bring together his loved ones, contemporaries, historians, and chart-topping musicians to offer the "architect of rock and roll" the "royal treatment he deserves." In addition, as director Lisa Cortés has stated, the film should investigate the black queer beginnings of American pop.

"SBF and the end of Silicon Valley"

The rise and fall of the crypto exchange FTX, alleged fraud in the billions of dollars, and Bankman-Fried, colloquially known as SBF, is a topic covered collaboratively by Vice Media and The Information, created by writer Jessica Lessin. The documentary is slated to arrive in the second quarter of 2023, and promises to critique FTX's inexperienced leadership, the involvement of VCs, and SBF's concern with "effective altruism". This story, as Lessin stated, marked the end of an era in Silicon Valley.

Second SBF/FTX documentary

Because there can never be just one film about such ventures, and because American audiences enjoy con stories, FTX's spectacular collapse is also receiving the Fyre festival treatment. This one is signed by David Darg, who promises "unique access to major participants in the FTX and cryptocurrency ecosystem" at SBF's headquarters. The team of film investigated the business drama that upended markets, triggered government probes, and sent shockwaves across an industry that is still battling to acquire popular legitimacy.

"Pamela, a love story"

Pamela Anderson will give her side of the tale in a Netflix documentary a year after the Hulu series "Pam & Tommy" ended. The Ryan White-directed film was already in production when Anderson learned about the Hulu series about the theft of an intimate video of her with her then-husband, Tommy Lee, which was sold for $75 million without her permission. The film, according to White, was less manufactured than anticipated. "'You can ask me anything,' she stated from the start. 'I'm willing to discuss anything.' " White stated.

"Still: A Michael J Fox Movie"

"Still: A Michael J Fox Movie," one of several Sundance titles concentrating on the lives of celebrities such as Brooke Shields, Judy Blume, and Willie Nelson, depicts a Canadian kid's journey to Hollywood celebrity in the 1980s and a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease at the age of 29. David Guggenheim's film will apparently incorporate documentary and archival material, as well as access to Fox and his family. Apple Original Films has already acquired the rights to the production, which is expected to premiere later this year.
