| From Detroit corner boys, to notorious drug kingpins, and hip hop kingmakers, “The BMF Documentary: Blowing Money Fast” charts the meteoric rise and fall of Black Mafia Family founders: Demetrius “Big Meech” and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory, two brothers who built one of the largest cocaine empires in American history. The real story is told by family, former BMF members, insiders, associates and celebrity figures close to the Flenory family, the limited event series affords viewers exclusive access inside all the epic family feuds, high stakes drug deals, suspicious murders, and champagne drenched parties attended by hip-hop royalty. In addition, the docuseries features exclusive audio commentary from “Big Meech” himself, marking his first appearance in a documentary on his own life. As the series recounts pivotal moments from the early ‘80s in Detroit, through peak years in the late 90’s and early aughts, to the end of their reign in 2006, “Big Meech” shares his perspective and insight into building the BMF empire. Produced for STARZ by Jigsaw Productions and G-Unit Film & Television, the eight, half-hour episodes provide a comprehensive overview of the BMF story spanning four decades across five major U.S. cities, immersing viewers in a network of crisscrossing relationships between crime, hip hop, and law enforcement while incorporating journalists and consultants close to these key players to provide the production authenticity, historical, and cultural context. The docuseries comes on the heels of STARZ’s scripted drama series “BMF,” a multi-season drama that addressed the early Detroit years in its first season. As previously announced, season 2 of the scripted series “BMF” returns January 2023.
