The horrific allegations against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ have made global headlines. With his trial in motion, Lion TV’s must-see documentary reaches beyond the story of one man, to bring to light the complicity of so many people around him. Whether it was the music industry figures who celebrated Combs’ success, the political elites who wanted to be seen with him or the billion-dollar brands who craved his endorsements, Diddy: In Plain Sight will explore why so many people, motivated by fame, money and power, turned a blind eye to his abusive behaviour. Another consequential, news-making programme from Lion TV that delves beyond the headlines to understand the root cause of this powerful global story.
