What is House of Maxwell about?
House of Maxwell charts the story of one of the most infamous family sagas the world has ever seen.
When Ghislaine was convicted in 2021, there was renewed interest in the Maxwell family and its controversial history.
"To understand the Ghislaine Maxwell story you have to understand her family. Spanning more than half a century, this is a staggering tale of fortunes built and lost, mysterious deaths and a spectacular descent into scandal and criminality," the BBC revealed.
"From her father Robert Maxwell’s beginnings as impoverished survivor of the Holocaust, via the extraordinary creation and collapse of his multimillion pound media business, to his apparently accidental death and revelations of fraud on a grand scale.
"From the dark story of Ghislaine Maxwell’s upbringing as a multi-millionaire’s daughter and a life of high society glamour, to her crimes in collusion with Jeffrey Epstein and their impact on their victims."
