Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel OTT Release Date - When & where to watch docu on 2000s fashion scene
Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel OTT Release Date - Hold on to your seats, fashion watchers and true-story junkies, one of the most shocking stories in American fashion history is getting the Netflix treatment. Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel, a thrilling new documentary directed by Sally Rose Griffiths, is set to drop on Netflix on July 1, 2025, and it's going to make you look at your old American Apparel hoodie very differently.
A bright brand hiding a dark truth
Back in the early 2000s, American Apparel was everywhere with bold ads, bright basics, and that air of cool rebellion. It was a movement. Young people wanted to work there, shop there, be there. And at the centre of it all? Dov Charney, the brand's loud, charismatic, and often controversial founder. But what looked like a dream turned into a nightmare.
This documentary pulls back the curtain on what really happened behind the scenes from the colourful chaos of the office floors to the dark allegations that would eventually bring it all crashing down. Charney's empire, built on sweatshop-free pride and edgy marketing, started to rot from within.
Toxic culture or cult?
Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel is a human story of young employees swept up in a whirlwind, thinking they were part of something big, only to realise they were part of something dangerous. The film gives voice to former staffers who once believed in the mission but found themselves caught in a toxic environment, with their professional dreams slowly unravelling.
Produced by RAW and BBH, Trainwreck: The Cult of American Apparel's executive producers team includes Sheun Adelasoye De Nicola, Alexander Marengo, Tim Wardle (Raw); Casey Feldman, Erica Roberts, William Swann (BBH). Charney, who denies all allegations, has never been found guilty of any crimes, with lawsuits against him either settled or resolved behind closed doors.

Orlando Bloom on returning to Pirates of the Caribbean as Will Turner: 'It'd be great to get the band back together'
Orlando Bloom has shared hope for a return to the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise, sparking excitement among long-time fans of the series. The actor, best known for his role as Will Turner, made the comments during a recent appearance on ITV's This Morning while promoting his new project 'Deep Cover'. When asked about reprising his role, Orlando Bloom said he didn't have any official news but revealed there is 'definitely availability.' He added, 'I think they're trying to work out what it would all look like. I personally think it'd be great to get the band back together.' His remarks have been taken as a nod to co-stars Keira Knightley and Johnny Depp, who played Elizabeth Swann and Captain Jack Sparrow in the original films. While Knightley has been largely silent on any potential return, Depp's involvement remains uncertain following his legal battles and past comments about Disney. Depp had previously said he wouldn't return to the franchise 'for $300 million and a million alpacas,' raising doubts about whether Disney would—or could—bring the full cast back together. Despite the uncertainty, Bloom's comments have revived fan hopes for another adventure with the original crew. With Disney reportedly exploring different directions for the franchise, it remains to be seen whether a reunion could actually happen. For now, Bloom's cautious optimism is the closest sign yet that another voyage with Will Turner might be on the horizon. 'Pirates of the Caribbean' is a popular American film series blending fantasy, supernatural elements, and high-seas adventure. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the franchise was inspired by the classic Walt Disney theme park ride of the same name. The franchise began in 2003 and quickly became a cornerstone of Disney's blockbuster lineup. The first three films were directed by Gore Verbinski, with later entries helmed by Rob Marshall, Joachim Rønning, and Espen Sandberg. Writers Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio shaped much of the series, particularly the early instalments, with contributions from others like Stuart Beattie and Jeff Nathanson. At the heart of the saga is Captain Jack Sparrow, played by Johnny Depp, whose eccentric charm and unpredictable schemes drive much of the story. Alongside him are recurring characters such as Hector Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush), Jack's rival and uneasy ally, and Joshamee Gibbs (Kevin McNally), his loyal first mate.
