A new documentary titled 'Johnny vs Amber: The US Trial' will throw light on the trial that the world watched with bated breath. The two-part series will feature interviews with Johnny Depp's lawyers, legal experts, and journalists, a report in NME said.
Footage from behind-the-scenes of the trial will also be shown in the series, the report added.
“The series gives a forensic account of the key evidence and turning points of the case from both sides, allowing viewers to make up their own minds about who to believe,” the report said.
The first episode of the documentary which will release on Discovery+ on September 19 will delve into Depp's side of events including his difficult childhood and substance abuse, the report noted.
