Fyre is a 2019 documentary that chronicles the rise and spectacular collapse of the ill-fated Fyre Festival. Through interviews, archival footage, and internal communications, it reveals how social media marketing and celebrity endorsements created a dream of a luxury music experience that could not be delivered. Following founder Billy McFarland, rapper Ja Rule, and festival organizers along with affected attendees, the film exposes deception, mismanagement, and the consequences of a high-profile promotional fraud in the music industry.
