Ghislaine Maxwell: Poder e Perversão

I suppose for anyone who hasn't been following anything to do with Jeffery Epstein much would find this hot gossip and juicy news. In some areas maybe but all up alot of the documentary besides some small easy to find information on her own case is just rehashing old news. I think its very fair to say you dont really need to watch this to know whats going on which is quite disappointing because there should be so much more to say. The quality of the documentary is good for it does have, it explains things well and still keeps things interesting. I would have rated this higher if it didn't feel like one of those doccos that was just made for the sake of making. From a Journalist prospective I believe more effort could have been involved.

This was a film about the young girls Maxwell delivered to Epstein. But there was more going on.

There was an island, there were powerful people flying to the island. Girls were groomed and provided for these powerful and wealthy people.

It left out the other powerful people affected - with the exception of a prince Andrew.

The documentary focused on Ghislaine, going from past to present. It discussed her family life, her father who died (fell of yacht) and how after his death, huge discrepancies in his companies' finances were revealed, including his fraudulent misappropriation of the Mirror Group pension fund.

More could have been done to honestly explore her interesting childhood, her upbringing (father Jewish, mother protestant), career with her father, what she was like growing up etc.

It was shallow and focused somewhat on her life of glamour without delving into the details of her repulsive psyche. It offered no insight or truth.

Genuinely liked the amount of interviews & information provided. All very curated however, and while I can't fault what limitations the show-runners had to deal with to get so many interviews with "family & friends" of ghislane, this film stinks of propaganda.

At the end of the day Ghislane was thrown under the bus, more or less, to quash public curiousity & outrage. Same deal in this film as far as I can tell, except they add some sympathetic story threads for her.

Watching this film will not change anyone's mind who believes that Epstein was killed to send a message to others. The only story anyone gets to hear is that he was the devil, and NOTHING else happened.

Interviews with ALL these "ex" friends of Ghislaine coming out now? Hmmm, where were they when all this stuff was going down? Now all of a sudden every ex friend of hers wants to tell their story. Pretty sure these people were either involved or knew what was going on! SO many "ex" friends talking out NOW 🙄. Give me a break, they knew and are just as disgusting as her. They even say they saw "signs" but did nothing. Seriously?! These are people that knew her VERY well and they're just now coming out saying stuff? They knew the whole time and were probably a part of the whole thing. They're just "finally" speaking out now to make themselves seem innocent.

There just isn't enough here. The show is way too short. It gives you an idea of what kind of horrible person she is and of course the twisted relationship her and Epstein had. I don't believe that if they had never met they wouldn't be near as bad as they are together.

Now what they did to these under age girls was so awful. I think Epstein got off easy and avoided punishment by committing suicide. I hope she is in jail for the rest of her life. That being said some of these adult women I think just might be looking for a payday. They are adults can't they say NO. It's not like they were threatened with bodily harm or death. One even admitted taking $200 and then cried saying she didn't have the words to say stop or no. Just because you may be uncomfortable in a sexual situation to me that isn't assault that's just regret. If you just go along with it and don't say I don't want to do this how do they know you don't really want too. Not only that but if you are put in a creepy situation and you really didn't want what happened to happen then why in the world would you go back over and over again. Your an adult a grown woman if you had been assaulted, taken advantage of, then don't go back. To me that sounds like you are choosing to do it again. You may think back now and go, I really didn't want to do that, hay that means I am a victim. That diminishes the real victims. I just don't think it was a very good documentary. It's like I didn't get the whole story.
