What is 'Secrets of the Hell's Angels' about?

'Secrets of the Hells Angel' delves into the group's history to uncover its darkest secrets.

Under the leadership of Sonny Barger, the Hells Angels 'brotherhood' expanded its influence across the United States. Amid persistent accusations of criminal activity, the biker club garnered a reputation as a formidable threat.

Featuring insights from five former chapter presidents including PeeWee Goldsmith, Thomas Eriksen, Pat Matter, Matt Zanoskar, and George Christie, along with exclusive interviews with law enforcement officers, undercover agents, victims, and more, the series reveals that the Hells Angels were far more violent, cunning, and organized than previously understood.

"Angels Forever, Forever Angels" stands as the traditional motto of the club. Among other Hells Angels slogans are "When we do right, nobody remembers. When we do wrong, nobody forgets," "Three can keep a secret if two are dead," and "When in doubt, knock 'em out," the latter of which was coined by New York City chapter member Vincent "Big Vinny" Girolamo.
