Synopsis
The American Meme follows the journeys of four shocking social media disruptors, Paris Hilton (@parishilton) as you’ve never seen her before, Josh Ostrovsky (@thefatjewish), Brittany Furlan (@brittanyfurlan), and Kirill Bichutsky (@slutwhisperer), as they hustle to create empires out of their online footprints. Although their paths to influencer status are distinct, their respective followings are akin to small armies. As we peel back the layers, we uncover the fundamental need to be loved is a universal quest fraught with as many triumphs as traps. With support from other social media moguls like DJ Khaled, Emily Ratajkowski, and Hailey Bieber, we see a shocking, intimate, and mesmerizing narrative that challenges our notions of what is real versus fake, the fine line between a digital and true life, and how we perceive a successful business venture compared to an ephemeral trend.
