by Thinus Ferreira

A 4-episode documentary series, Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story will be released on Amazon Prime Video on 5 December, looking beneath the veneer of the neon-hued world of Lisa Frank Inc. - a brand that defined girlhood for a generation only to seemingly disappear overnight.

"Behind the rainbows and psychedelic illustrations, Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story unravels a nostalgia-soaked, stranger-than-fiction tale that takes us into the hidden world that has been lurking at the heart of the company for decades," Amazon Prime Video says.

Glitter and Greed: The Lisa Frank Story features never-before-seen footage and over 20 interviews with Lisa Frank Inc. insiders, enthusiasts, and journalists.

The series is produced by Maxine Productions, a part of Sony Pictures Television. Executive producers for Maxine Productions are Mary Robertson and Lisa Kalikow. Arianna LaPenne is director and co-executive producer.
