Robert Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan became fast friends during their youth in Germany. With Rob coming from a broken home and Fab having left an abusive household, they shared a similar upbringing, as well as a future goal: to become famous superstars. In a few short years, their dreams came true. Their first album, "Girl You Know It's True", went platinum six times in 1989 and sold over 30 million singles worldwide. Rob and Fab, better known as Milli Vanilli, became the most popular pop duo in the late 1980s. However, their ascension to success came with a devastating price that ultimately brought their undoing. Featuring exclusive interviews with Rob and Fab, plus the real singers, record executives, and producer mastermind behind the con, this documentary pulls back the curtain on the story that we thought we knew, but didn't, and delivers a compelling look at the price of fame and the opportunistic commodification of artists.—Keep On Running Pictures
