The Ringleader: The Case of the Bling Ring (2023)

Rachel Lee was the so-called “teenage mastermind” behind a string of headline-grabbing celebrity robberies in 2008 and 2009. 

In The Ringleader: The Case of the Bling Ring, she speaks out for the first time, sharing what motivated her to rally her friends to break into celebrity homes in Hollywood to ransack and steal.

Directed by Emmy-nominated filmmaker Erin Lee Carr (Britney vs Spears), the HBO documentary has an 83% critics’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes. As The Guardian says: “Carr’s taut and textured documentary… pierces through the glamorous amorality tale without letting one of its chief perpetrators off the hook.”
