Matthew Perry: A Hollywood Tragedy
On October 28, 2023 the world learned of beloved actor Matthew Perry's shocking death. Best known for his role in long-running sitcom Friends, Perry's memoir revealed a long battle with addiction, and when ketamine was found in his system, many assumed he had died from an overdose. However, nearly a year later, a bombshell emerged: five people—including Perry's personal assistant, two doctors, and a Hollywood drug dealer—were charged with conspiring to illegally provide him with ketamine. This documentary weaves Perry's rise to fame with the tragic events leading to his final days, as he allegedly received ketamine from individuals "who should have known better." Perry's castmates, family, friends, law enforcement, and a brutally honest Perry himself tell this epic Hollywood story.
