A few weeks after the launch of Pam & Tommy on Disney+, which is inspired by the case of the sex tape which sadly made it famous throughout the world, Netflix announces the development of a documentary dedicated to Pamela Anderson.
“Not a victim, a survivor and alive to tell the real story”. This is how Pamela Anderson announces the upcoming arrival of a documentary on Netflix. The actress, famous for her role in Baywatch, is offered the opportunity to tell his story on the small screen. An intimate portrait according to the platform, with unpublished images and archives, but also and above all interviews with the icon of the 90s.
While the two streaming giants are engaged in a merciless battle to obtain the first place of the most popular platforms around the world, the confrontation takes another turn. If Disney + has chosen fiction to tell the sulfurous sextape stolen with Pam & TommyNetflix adopts a different positioning.
As a reminder, in 1995, an intimate video of the couple she formed with Tommy Lee was stolen from their home. It will quickly spread on the net, marking the beginning of online pornography. This is the first viral video of its kind.
The series directed by Craig Gillespie had nevertheless taken some liberties, while using images from the said video. The plot was adapted from an article published in 2014 by Rolling Stone magazine. An approach that has no more to the actress and her former husband, who did not fail to let it know during several interviews.
Ryan White directing
To make this documentary, Netflix called on Ryan White. The filmmaker notably worked on a documentary series called The Keepers. Broadcast on Netflix, she returned to the murder of a nun in Baltimore and the terrible secrets that persist 50 years after her death.

Here, he changes register but should offer Pamela Anderson an opportunity to “set the record straight” depending on the platform.
For now, no release date has been announced. However, since the project has been in development for several years, the platform should soon tell us more.
Especially since the Disney+ series is preparing to give us its conclusion, and it’s always good to strike the iron while it’s hot.
