The history of The National ENQUIRER is well documented in a new, must-see documentary "Enquiring Minds: The Untold Story of the Man Behind the National Enquirer", focusing on the publication’s 88-year history, and its’ undeniable influence on American journalism.
The documentary, directed by Emmy-award winner Ric Burns, takes a close look at founder and publisher Generoso “Gene” Pope, Jr., and his fearless venture to give the public exactly what it wanted to read about: celebrity dirt, philandering politicians, circus sideshows and blood spattered crime scenes.
“Enquiring Minds: The Untold Story of the Man Behind the National Enquirer”, through exclusive interviews and rare footage, illustrates Pope’s rise through the ranks, and the tabloid’s tradition as a staple of the supermarket checkout line -- and a key source of breaking news.
