Pressure, hate, manipulation: How broken is Germany's Next Top Model? (2023x23)

Udgivelsesdato: Jun 27, 2023

The dream machine Germany's Next Top Model has been running continuously for 17 years. Since the first season in 2006, the show - and Heidi Klum in particular - has promised thousands of young women the chance of a global career, a life of fame and fortune. She promises life as a top model. What should the young women do about it? Simply follow the same path as Heidi did at the beginning of the 90s: win a competition. Give everything to achieve everything. For this EPIC, STRG_F asked 100 former GNTM participants and around 50 employees involved in the production of the casting show and spoke to around half of them. Nine of the former GNTM participants now talk about their experiences in front of the camera. Some report a good time, others report excessive demands, pressure, manipulation on set and even death threats after the show. What happens behind the scenes at GNTM? What's left when the show is over?
