Ghislaine Maxwell is a survivalist, like her father. Robert Maxwell grew up destitute during the Holocaust and was resolved to become wealthy and well-known by whatever means necessary. He was a British army officer, publisher, politician, and fraudster. He raised his children from a young age to be well-educated and cultured. As Ghislaine grew older, Robert displayed her around his parties and business meetings to impress important people. She was living the dream among the wealthy, famous, and regal, but it all came crumbling down when her father died. She no longer had that support, and her family's reputation had been ruined as a result of unwise decisions. Ghislaine needed to find another "Robert" and moved to New York, where Jeffrey became her rescue. They formed a strong collaboration because they could benefit from one other and shared similar interests. But as the cases against Jeffrey piled up, Ghislaine planned her next escape to New Hampshire. I appreciated how this documentary shed light on Ghislaine and Jeffrey's backgrounds, revealing what led to their criminal careers and the ramifications that followed. Justice is served.
