She comes from a rich family and like any family it has it ups and downs. Paris as a child always wanted to be in the limelight and over the years this has not changed. Contrary to what she says, she is still feeding her brand, this time seeking sympathy by telling the hard times she had as a child. But let's face it, Paris was out of hand and any parent would have taken steps to curtail this behavior. Perhaps Paris was badly traumatized at Provo and is reliving this to this day, but for sensation and dramatization, this viewer does not buy it.
It is obvious looking at her over the years that she loves the attention and will always do as Paris does.

This documentary was amazing when you read between the lines. For a woman who acted her whole life and pretended to be perfect, Paris is beginning to show who she is.
There are people who say she is fake and is using this to promote a "new brand" but that isn't the case. She has never showed her faults and it's extremely difficult to do that after being the architect for a form of fame and a new type of celebrity. I loved this documentary because it shows that everyone has trauma and demons and it is extremely difficult to let them out after decades of hiding them.
Cheers to Paris and I hope she is able to find true joy and sleep without the fear of nightmares.

Ive never enjoyed shows like simple life or the characters that come with them... One thing I have always thought though, was that they are just that... Characters...
Paris hilton is relatable and likeable... She's just a female adult who has past trauma and trying to make her best life... Unlike a lot of celebrities she does not appear to be self obsessed (refer to the lady gaga documentary for a perfect example... Just annoying) she clearly has a good soul and a heart of love... Sometimes I felt like giving her a cuddle. I'd be proud to someone like Paris as a friend or daughter...

I can't believe these words are about to come out of my mouth (or from the ends of my fingertips), but this Paris Hilton documentary is actually great. It's truly mesmerizing and well worth your time, and yes, I know, pass the smelling salts and get thee to the fainting couch.
I've never been a big fan of hers, but I also wasn't that bothered by her antics. I watched "The Simple Life" back in the early aughts and was entertained. She then popped back on my radar after we watched the Netflix docuseries "The Program: Cons, Cults and Kidnapping", in which she appeared and then again when she testified in Sacramento a few weeks ago about her experience. That led to this documentary, which is an imperfect, though sincere and vulnerable portrait where she goes into more detail about her harrowing experience as a victim of the troubled teen industry. I have more sympathy for her and what she went through and while it might be hard for an heiress to change her image (leopard, spots), I think she's definitely not the worst person alive. There are so many more worthy contenders for that title.

I've long thought Paris Hilton was an intriguing character of modern Hollywood, and this documentary gives us true insight behind the curtain. Trailblazer of 'new fame' as we know it today. Paris' life - from abuse; to rebellious club kid; to the socialite and head of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate - is heartbreaking, inspiring and controversial.
Well worth a watch, for fans and haters alike.
