"The True Story of Angelina Jolie,” chronicles the life of the Hollywood icon, accentuated through archival footage, unique interviews, and unseen segments of the icon’s rise to fame. With the help of experts and acquaintances, this documentary is an enlightening look at her philanthropy as well as the ups and downs that have marked her career and how she came to be one of the most acclaimed and beloved actresses of our time.

Its creator, Paris Premiere (M6 Groupe) has previously collaborated with PRIME, securing major biographical documentaries such as “Drawing the Line: A Portrait of Keith Haring” (1x28’), “The Secret Album of Clint Eastwood” (1x70’), and their most recent deal of the award-winning cinematic documentary, “Monsters, The Enemy Within” (1 x 56’) that explores the lore, legends and production of Hollywood Horror, chilling costume design, and our top bone-chilling creatures.

Through this continuous goal, we have the opportunity to present our latest season of the successful celebrity series “Close Up” and our latest cinematic trilogy of Hollywood legends.”
