Apple Cider Vinegar | Part 2

At the dawn of the social media era, Belle Gibson became a pioneering wellness influencer - telling the world how she beat cancer with an alternative diet. Her bestselling cookbook and online app provided her success, respect, and a connection to the cancer-battling influencer she admired the most. But a curious journalist with a sick wife began asking questions that even those closest to Belle began to wonder. Was the online star faking her cancer and fooling the world?

Kaitlyn Dever stars in the Netflix hit series Apple Cider Vinegar.  Inspired by true events, the dramatized story follows Belle’s journey from self-styled wellness thought leader to disgraced con artist. It also explores themes of hope and acceptance - and how far we’ll go to maintain it.

In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews executive producer Samantha Strauss.
