Complicated Characters

Dov Charney, the founder and ex-CEO of American Apparel, built the company through his charisma and force of will...

But he also slept with employees, faced multiple sexual harassment suits, and was ultimately fired from his company. Lisa Chow and her team at StartUp produced a 7-part series documenting Charney's controversial past and his attempt to start over. She’ll offer guidance for telling stories about problematic central characters, and how to structure a series around an uncooperative subject.
