Dream Stealer: The Kevin Trudeau Story is a documentary dedicated to the biography of one of the most famous authors of books on healthy eating in the history of the United States named Kevin Trudeau. The author of the script is Aaron Webster, he collected the most remarkable facts in the film and tried to give them an impartial analysis.
Kevin Trudeau has experienced dizzying ups and downs, so the film will be interesting to many. Kevin's books were a great commercial success, but in many ways this is due not so much to their content as to his talent as a promoter and seller, as well as convincing advertising campaigns. He was caught in a series of minor frauds for which he was fined. Kevin managed not to pay them and lead a loose lifestyle. But in the end, he made one fatal mistake, for which he is jailed until 2022. close
