FYRE: The Greatest Party That Never Happened

A documentary about a fraud that didn't appear to be intended as a fraud, but ended up being the biggest fraud in the end.  FYRE festival I honestly believe had good intentions but wound up being a story of guys just getting in over their head and refusing to back down and take the high road out.  It was an absolute shit show.  I think everyone can sympathize at the start of the film, having a dream or a goal where you dive in head first only to realize you can't meet your expectations, but by the end you realize you would have taken the high ground and cancelled.  Billy McFarland refused to back down, which ended up costing a lot of people a lot of money, not just in what they paid to attend, but in lost wages etc.  A strikingly disgusting tale in the end, but entertaining nonetheless.  Recommend.
