VICE IS BROKEN (2024) DOC NYC 2024


Eddie Huang, chef, writer, and TV personality takes a look at his former home Vice Magazine and exposes how it went from an organization that was worth four billion dollars into bankruptcy. 

This is one of the great films of DOC NYC. Coming out of left field this film blew me away, sure I expected a film I was interested in, but I just didn't expect that the film would result in hours of discussion afterward. This is not only a portrait of Vice which went from one big outsider family to a corporate organization that had ideas on how tell stories on, to stories that were puff pieces payed for by corporations, but the film is also a look at how the media is being reshaped by corporate interests and stupid people.

I loved this film.  When it was done I didn't want to move on to the next film, I wanted to jump right back in and watch it again... I mean it's full of such great people and stories. 

This is great stuff- very recommended.
