SYNOPSIS
The meteoric rise and spectacular fall of Vice magazine. From scrappy Montreal alt-punk ’zine that made fringe culture mainstream, to media empire of the indie sleaze era valued at $5.7bn, up to its recent bankruptcy.

From the irresistible insider’s point of view of a man on a mission to tell it like it is.
