🎥 This Month’s Featured Film: "Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened"

Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened is a gripping documentary that explores the rise and rapid unraveling of one of the most infamous event marketing failures in recent history. Directed by Chris Smith, the film takes viewers behind the scenes of the ill-fated Fyre Festival — a luxury music experience in the Bahamas that spiraled into chaos and deception.

It features firsthand accounts from organizers, influencers, contractors, and attendees, revealing how hype, social media, and unchecked ambition created a disaster that left lasting consequences.

More than just a cautionary tale, Fyre offers sharp insights into branding, entrepreneurship, accountability, and the power — and danger — of selling a dream without the foundation to deliver. It’s a timely reminder of what happens when vision outpaces integrity.


Key Themes:

Entrepreneurship & Business Growth – Building a brand from the ground up✅ Resilience & Overcoming Adversity – Facing discrimination and industry challenges✅ Women in Leadership – Breaking barriers in a male-dominated society✅ Branding & Marketing – The power of storytelling and self-promotion
