Summary
Power: Hugh Hefner is the follow-up to the show’s smash-hit premiere season, Power: The Maxwells. In its second season, Power is examining the rise of Playboy and the legacy of its founder.
The pool at the mansion photographed well, but can you imagine actually being in the water? How much of man-boy culture is Playboy responsible for? How influential was Hefner in sexualizing under-age girls? How did the veneer and brand he created excuse and overlook the abuse that occurred on his compound?
It’s time to look at the power of the man in the smoking jacket.
Hosted by Amy Rose Spiegel of VICE, Power: Hugh Hefner centers the women of Playboy – the bunnies, the centerfolds, the executives – and utilizes a feminist lens to critique the playboy lifestyle that the magazine championed.
