Apple Cider Vinegar | Official Teaser | Netflix
Click to viewWhat happens when your health and wellness advice comes from a fraudster?
Inspired by a true story that was based on a lie, Apple Cider Vinegar stars Kaitlyn Dever as Belle Gibson, an Australian wellness influencer who claims to have cured her terminal brain cancer through health and wellness. Sounds unlikely? That’s because it is. As it turns out, Belle has never actually been diagnosed with - or cured of - the malignant brain tumor that she shares with the world through social media, the mobile app she develops, and its companion cookbook.
Created by award-winning Australian writer Samantha Strauss (Nine Perfect Strangers, The End, Dance Academy), who was living in Melbourne during the peak of the real-life Gibson’s success, the six-episode limited series serves as a cultural interrogation of the times, exploring the birth of Instagram; the allure and rise of wellness culture; peak girl boss start-up culture; and the age of innocence on social media with very few checks and balances in place.
The series is inspired by the book The Woman Who Fooled the World by journalists Beau Donelly and Nick Toscano. Strauss was first introduced to Gibson’s story through Donelly and Toscano’s reporting in The Age, a Melbourne newspaper.
