The Beautiful People
The Beautiful People is a 10-part documentary series that follows a group of American, British and Brazilian fashion models as they follow the sun to Cape Town for the summer season. Each episode delves into the reality of their day-to-day interactions as they attempt to find work, make friends and build their careers over a three-month period. The show goes behind the scenes into the day-to-day, real-life business of modelling – the auditions, the challenges, the insecurities and the fierce competition for work over the peak season.
Directed by acclaimed entertainment journalist Nicky Greenwall, The Beautiful People competes for Best Documentary at The International Fashion Film Festival, London Fashion Film Festival and La Jolla Fashion Film Festival.
