might seem like a mockumentary with its curious cast of characters hailing from the small town in Mississippi. But truth indeed proves to be stranger than fiction as filmmakers Chapman Way and Maclain Way unravel the story of how andocuseries, getting people to talk about the 2013 ricen scandal in which several government officials received letters laced with the biochemical substance and the years leading up to it was easier than expected.
At the center of the story is Paul Kevin Curtis, a former Elvis tribute artist whose relationship with his brother Jack — also an Elvis impersonator — became strained when Kevin alleged that the North Mississippi Medical Center was harvesting organs to be sold on the black market while working as a cleaner there.
“It does kind of turn it into two documentaries,” explained Maclain of their filmmaking process. “The first two episodes are very much Paul Kevin Curtis’ story, and the final third episode is the other character that comes in in a very big way and tells this man’s part in the story.”
