Press Release: Netflix Unveils Trailer for “Untold: The Fall of Favre”
[Date] – Netflix has released the trailer for its upcoming documentary, "Untold: The Fall of Favre," which delves into the off-field controversies surrounding Hall of Fame NFL quarterback Brett Favre. Set to premiere on May 20, the film explores claims of sexual harassment made by former New York Jets Gameday host Jenn Sterger.
In the trailer, Sterger alleges that Favre sent her unwanted lewd texts and photos during the 2008 NFL season, stating, “Brett Favre ultimately destroyed my life.” This powerful testimony highlights the repercussions of Favre’s actions in both personal and public contexts.
Director Rebecca Gitlitz emphasizes that the documentary aims to hold the legendary quarterback accountable for his alleged misconduct, stating, “When fame rises, sometimes accountability falls.” Gitlitz adds that the film goes beyond Favre’s celebrated career, shedding light on the patterns of behavior exhibited by those in power and encouraging audiences to reflect on the balance between success and moral responsibility.
“Ultimately, the film challenges all of us to consider when we let our heroes go too far, who is to blame?” Gitlitz remarks. The documentary seeks to foster honest conversations about the humanity of those involved, placing a spotlight on the broader implications of celebrity culture.
In addition to these allegations, Favre has recently made headlines for revealing his diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease during testimony regarding a welfare mismanagement scandal in Mississippi. This layer adds complexity to the narrative as the film examines the multifaceted nature of fame and its consequences.
"Untold: The Fall of Favre" is produced by EverWonder Studio, Front Office Sports, and Time Studios, with executive producers including Ian Orefice and Jonna McLaughlin, among others.
