Surviving Jeffrey Epstein Trailer Lifetime Tackles Ghislaine Maxwell

Per Lifetime’s synopsis: “On the anniversary of disgraced financier and alleged sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein’s death, Lifetime will debut the revealing investigative documentary as a two-night, four-hour event telling the stories of eight survivors with insights from those close to him. The four-hour doc investigates the billionaire New York financier who is alleged to have used his connections to the rich and famous to shield his predatory behavior with young girls.”

“Surviving Jeffrey Epstein” was executive produced by Emmy winner Robert Friedman (“Panama Papers”) and directed by Annie Sundberg and Ricki Stern (“Reversing Roe”). Shura Davison and Gena McCarthy executive produce for Lifetime. Lifetime has partnered with Rise Up Against Abuse to run a special PSA during the airings of the documentary to encourage other survivors to use their voice and help establish Survivors Bills of Rights in their states. Lifetime will also run a PSA from RAINN to provide hotline resources for those in need. The recently released preview positions the series as a serious investigation that centers survivors of Epstein’s abuse. With the backing of Lifetime, which had great success with “Surviving R. Kelley,” the series will ideally take a hard look at the atrocities endured while not sensationalizing the subjects’ experience. As one survivor says in the preview: “He’s dead, he’s mysterious. People like mess, people don’t like truth. But the survivors have a story to tell.” The series will premiere over two nights on Lifetime on August 9 and 10 beginning at 8 pm and 9 pm, respectively.
