See the shocking real story which inspired the 2003 major motion picture!

This documentary centers around the extraordinary life story of Michael Alig, a small town youth who migrated to New York where he became a big name in the party/gay night club world but who saw it all shattered after he was indicted on the murder of his roommate. We follow the charismatic, flamboyant young man as he emerged from obscurity to become a media darling as the leader of the Club Kids and a prominent party circuit promoter. But with success and notoriety came drugs and violence. In what was a drug-induced act, he killed his roommate, Angel Melendez, by smashing his skull. He then dismembered the body and even called his friends and told them about it. It wasn't until nine months later that he was arrested. A chilling tale told through home movies and interviews.
