Introduction
The story is infamous. Between 2008 and 2009, a group of celebrity-obsessed LA teens embarked upon a spree of burglaries that targeted the homes of the rich and famous.
The crimes of these teenagers were followed obsessively by the press throughout their court cases and were later immortalized in the 2013 Sofia Coppola movie The Bling Ring.
In this documentary, produced by Channel 4, two of the perpetrators of the robberies, Nick Prugo and Alexis Neiers, are given the opportunity to tell their side of the story, including details about their individual backgrounds, which shed light on their motivations.
The cult of celebrity and the reality TV phenomenon in the mid-to-late-2000s are invoked as highly relevant factors in this notorious criminal case.
