A shocking HBO documentary investigates the many controversies surrounding popular fast fashion brand, Brandy Melville.

The company has maintained a cult following of teenage girls. Its immense popularity, however, has masked troubling issues with Brandy Melville and its CEO, Stephan Marsan, from exclusionary sizing practices to reports of sexual harassment.
