It's this thing where a bunch of influencers all jam themselves into a tent, cover themselves in mayo and chant the lyrics to the entire imagine dragons catalogue.

Does it try to make her out to be a force for good?
Edit: Downvote me if you want, but she introduced diseases that have rapidly accelerated the death rates of those chimps, increased the aggression between the different groups of chimps, and increased the level of conflict between the chimps and the locals by just being a huge pain in the arse to them.

A general rule for life: If it seems too good to be true, then it probably isn't going to survive contact with reality.
But in most cases look into who's organizing the event and how "ambitious" the event is. Check their history and track record to check if they have a history on delivering good events.

I work in music festivals as well. I’d still recommend watching. They had so many opportunities to not fuck up, but they made many terrible, selfish choices. Great cautionary tale

This is the the type of shit Defunctland was railing about.
Just because IH does it in a comedic manner doesn't mean it was inaccurate. Both his video and his BTS video for Fyre Fest is literally better than OP's.

All I can think of watching this doc is how much he reminds me of my brother, who is in prison.

Netflix one had access to more behind the scenes footage but clearly had certain biases, toward fuck Jerry and Vice media. The Hulu one didn’t let fuck Jerry off the hook and interviewed a multitude of journalists instead of just one Journalist that works Vice news. The intro to the Hulu documentary is the absolute best. Watching both gives a full picture.

I've watched this doco a couple of times now and it's still just jaw dropping.
The level of self belief this guy has is....admirable?
He's like the poster child for a generation raised on participation trophies and told they can do anything if they just try hard enough, regardless of talent or natural ability.

Thanks for posting this. I just watched all of it. By far the best. Seeing the chimps get polio was really sad.

Honest Question: How does one determine if a new music festival/concert is legit?

Similar type of tent package for Tomorrowland costs €1,400. It includes flight tickets (at least in Europe) too though.
As well as an actual festival.

Lol, that's amazing. I can just imagine him getting that question and starting his reply with, or at least thinking, "well you obviously haven't seen the Frye festival documentary, and that's a good thing". Seriously though, he wasn't the hero they deserved, but the hero they needed.

The guy was recently released from prison and even started a new venture called “Pirate.” So yeah that should end well.

Job interview "So tell me about a time you went above and beyond to provide good customer service.." That dude: "Well this one time I was helping run a music festival, and..."
