Peel back the glossy veneer of Vice Media, the once-revolutionary media empire that collapsed into chaos

Eddie Huang’s "Vice Is Broke" takes viewers on a whirlwind ride through the meteoric rise – and crushing collapse – of Vice Media, the once-cool digital titan that declared bankruptcy in 2023.
Directed by a former insider, the film mixes irreverent humor with raw reflection, delivering what one critic calls a “comprehensive and chaotic dive into the rise and fall of Vice Media.”
Its narrative can feel unfocused at times – as chaotic as the publication itself – but, ultimately, while "Vice Is Broke" may not fully dissect what went wrong, it's the exactly the movie you'd expect from Vice.
