With crime documentaries like Making a Murderer and The Keepers, Netflix has made a strong dent in the subgenre.
This week, the streaming service released a trailer for its newest documentary, Nobody Speak: Trials of the Free Press, and fans are beyond excited to see it.
Nobody Speak isn't like many other crime properties, as it doesn't revolve around a murder or missing persons case. Instead, this new film dives into former WWE superstar Hulk Hogan's sex tape scandal.
In 2012, Gawker released a video of Hulk Hogan engaging in sexual acts with Heather Clem, wife of radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge.
What followed was a series of court cases, spanning multiple years, where Hogan sued Bubba, Heather, and Gawker.

Billionaire Peter Thiel helped Hogan fund his $100M lawsuit against Gawker, who had been wronged by the site as well.
The film tells the story of this case, and how the billionaires in the US are taking a strong stand against the media, specifically attacking the freedom of the press.
Brian Knappenberger directed the film, and it is scheduled to debut on Netflix on June 23.
