Fyre Fraud

Fyre Fraud (2019) — watch online on iFILM. Directors Jenner Furst and Julia Willoughby Nason document the collapse of the 2017 Fyre Festival, with Billy McFarland and Ja Rule at the centre of the story.

Thousands of ticket-holders paid for a luxury Bahamas music experience built on influencer posts and a fictitious paradise. They arrived to disaster-relief tents and cheese slices. Unlike the Netflix documentary released the same week, this one landed an interview with McFarland himself — which makes it more revealing and, at times, more aggravating. The real subject isn't the crime but the social media machine that made people want to believe it. Stream Fyre Fraud on iFILM.
