LORENA From Executive Producer Jordan Peele to Premiere February 15
Lorena, a four-part Prime Original documentary series executive produced by Jordan Peele, will premiere on Friday, February 15, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video, following the world premiere at The Sundance Film Festival on Tuesday, January 29th.
Directed by acclaimed documentary filmmaker Joshua Rofé (Lost for Life), Lorenareveals the hidden truths in the notorious case of John Wayne and Lorena Bobbitt and challenges the long-held narrative that surrounded this event. The series provides a fresh perspective on the story of Lorena Bobbitt and exposes how this event laid the groundwork for the modern 24-hour news cycle and increasing sensationalistic media coverage. Lost in tabloid coverage and late-night talk show jokes, the Bobbitt story was a missed opportunity for a national discussion on domestic and sexual assault in America. Lorena is a groundbreaking re-investigation of the deep moral issues and painful human tragedies buried at the heart of this infamous American scandal.
Lorena is executive produced by Jordan Peele and Win Rosenfeld for Monkeypaw;Steven J. Berger and Joshua Rofé for Number 19; Tom Lesinski and Jenna Santoianni for Sonar; and produced by Monkeypaw, Sonar Entertainment and Number 19.
