Great Expectations
1h 28min -
With a star-studded cast of actors, academics and celebrity interviewees, we tell the story of the early 90s' growing obsession with sex, celebrity, and reality TV. While some women, like Anita Hill, were fighting against becoming sex objects, others like Anna Nicole Smith couldn’t wait to get their clothes off. Bill Clinton was also revealing hidden talents when he decided to gamble on showing the world his sax. His gamble paid off, but when Bill Gates decided to package Windows '95 without a web browser, Microsoft lost out big time to Netscape. Gates eventually emerged triumphant, which was good financial news for both Bills. While the cast members of The Real World reveled in the media spotlight, the glare of publicity proved too much for Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain, who provided the 90s with its definitive rock icon. Jeffrey Dahmer became an icon of a very different sort, yet even he couldn’t cast a shadow as long as the attack on the World Trade Center in 1993.
