FANGIRL STORY
Stream* from Saturday August 3 or watch
at 8.30pm on Masterpiece Movies [408]
“These boys mean a lot to me; they mean more
than my family” – so says one of the subjects
of this eye-opening documentary, which was
a contender at the Sydney Film Festival and
Melbourne International Film Festival.
Over the course of 93 minutes, audiences
are taken on an emotional journey with girls
and women from different generations, linked
by one common factor: an undying devotion to
their favourite boy bands. From Backstreet Boys
and Take That to One Direction (pictured) and
The Beatles, their love knows no bounds.
