Paris Hilton was born into fame and she was one of the very first celebrities to be loved for it. Her perfectly tanned skin and gorgeous blonde hair might be a fantasy many have wanted to live and experience and her exuberant lifestyle might be the envy of many, however, Paris's life is more than that and far too complex. It's no cakewalk to live in the media glare all while surviving violent relationships and the baggage of childhood trauma but the socialite has managed to pull through and shown true grit.

She's now letting loose and shedding her layers to give an intimate glimpse into her life which will be projected through a documentary titled 'This is Paris'. Here is everything you need to know about it:

Release Date 

'This is Paris' will release on September 14, 2020, on Paris Hilton's YouTube Channel

Plot

The official premise of the documentary reads, "This Is Paris uncovers the hidden past of the international icon. As Paris confronts the heartbreaking trauma that forged who she is today, this deeply compelling portrait tells the real story of a teenage girl desperate to escape into a fantasy and sheds new light on the insta-fame culture that Paris helped to create."

Paris Hilton is a multi-hyphenate personality whose life will be projected front and center in this documentary. New York's very own 'It Girl' from the early years of the millennium, Paris rose to fame with 'The Simple Life' within which she appeared with her then-best friend Nicole Richie. Business mogul and reality TV superstar Kim Kardashian West and her family might be one of the most popular stars on television currently, however, KKW was thrust into the limelight by appearing on Hilton's arm at many events and outings. Hilton is also a published author, dabbled her career as a recording artiste with an album to her name, has juggled a DJ'ing career and has multiple fragrances named after her. 

This documentary will also feature Hilton's sister Nicky Rothschild Hilton and their mother, Kathy Hilton. KKW and Kyle Richards will also be making an appearance.

Creators

The project is helmed by Emmy-winning director Alexandra Dean and produced by Industrial Media's The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC).

Trailer

"I'm nervous," says Paris while preparing to talk about the mental trauma she faced as a teenager at a boarding school in Utah. "I'm shaking. It's hard to even eat, because my stomach is just like, turning. I don't know — it's something that's very personal and not something I like talking about."

"No one really knows who I am," she continues. "Something happened in my childhood that I've never talked about with anyone. I still have nightmares about it," she adds in the sneak peek of her documentary that she uploaded to her Instagram page. "Sneak peek of my new documentary #ThisIsParis premiering September 14th on @Youtube Originals. Finally ready to reveal who I truly am and speak about experiences in my life that I’ve never told anyone before. Get ready to meet The Real Paris," she wrote in the caption explaining that the documentary will provide a closer look into all aspects of her life to people.
