This docudrama dives into the story of Playboy magazine's charismatic founder, Hugh Hefner, who created one of the world's most recognizable brands. The series is a combination of interviews, archival footage (including moments found in Hefner's vast personal collection) and cinematic re-enactments that cover the launch of the magazine as well as the next six decades of Hefner's personal life and career. While building his empire, Hefner also devoted time to defending civil rights, freedom of speech and sexual freedom.
