The documentary features interviews with Maxwell’s friends, former boyfriends, rivals and confidants, many of whom have never spoken publicly before and focuses on key stages in her life.
It is directed by Erica Gornall and produced by Mike Lerner and Katherine Haywood, and executive produced by Dorothy Byrne , Channel 4’s editor-at-large. Rachel Job, senior VP, non-scripted at All3Media International, said: “We are thrilled to partner with Roast Beef Productions on this brand-new project. Their expertise and authority in non-fiction guarantees this will be the ultimate, timely telling of Ghislaine Maxwell’s story.
Lerner said: “Rarely does a woman face the heinous charges to which Ghislaine Maxwell must answer in a New York court this summer. She was the golden child of the notorious fraudster Robert Maxwell, an Oxford graduate, a socialite across two continents who became the associate of the notorious paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and then founded a charity to save the oceans. A woman of many faces who has lived several different lives.
