Filthy Rich and Famous

Watch:

Synopsis

Documentary which explores the world of celebrity from the eyes of their closest relations and asks whether fame and money changes families for the good or whether celebrity turns out to be a poisoned chalice.

Simon Cowell's brother Tony, Ryan Giggs's brother Rhodri, Elton John's brother Geoff Dwight and Jessie Wallace's sister Danielle Mason show us a slice of their life and reveal how different their ordinary lives are compared to the luxurious celebrity lifestyle enjoyed by their siblings.

The film goes deep into family dynamics and finds out the positives and negatives of being close to the spotlight, what stresses fame has put on their relationships and if it has helped or hindered them.
