Paris, Not France, a documentary on the life of Paris Hilton, will premiere on MTV this summer. The controversial 68-minute-short film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival this weekend.
Paris, Not France was scrapped after Paris grew concerned about possible public reaction. Now after three years of disputes between Paris and the film’s creators, producers agreed that a number of the objectionable scenes would be chopped and tossed on the cutting room floor — which prompted Paris to rally behind this raw look at her life.
Here’s the now, new, official plot:
PARIS, NOT FRANCE provides an intimate and provocative look at the world’s first new media star – Paris Hilton. Shot in London, New York, Tokyo, Los Angeles and Las Vegas, the film explores the business of being Paris Hilton, and the human being that lies beneath the public persona. Adria Petty’s documentary attempts to explore how the Paris phenomenon came to be, and how it defines this moment in culture. With additional commentary from the Hilton family, friends and media experts ranging from Donald Trump, Camille Paglia, Jeff Vespa of WireImage, Richard Johnson of Page Six and more, the film poses the ultimate questions – What is so fascinating about Paris Hilton? And why are we such a celebrity obsessed culture?
