"Freaknik: Uncovering Atlanta's Wild '90s Party Phenomenon"
A new documentary titled "Freaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told" revisits the rowdy and raunchy spring festival in Atlanta that attracted hundreds of thousands of young people, mostly Black college students, in the 1980s and 90s. The documentary, released on Hulu, has sparked curiosity and concern among former attendees, now in their 40s and 50s, about whether they might appear in it. Some have even threatened legal action, while others have expressed unease about potentially embarrassing footage being included. Producers have assured that releases were signed by those who shared their footage, and faces were blurred in explicit scenes to protect identities.
