Review: Documentary gives insight into Martha Stewart’s empire and private life | Canberra weather

If you haven’t particularly researched the case, you may be surprised to learn that Martha was not imprisoned for insider trading. She was imprisoned for lying to the FBI about a tip about insider trading, whether it happened or not (Martha says she can’t remember for sure if she was tipped off). This brings us to the best part of the doco: Martha’s memories, through her detailed diary, of her five months in federal prison. Mainly visualized through illustrations, this section unfolds as Orange is the new blackand this is by far the most interesting aspect of the film.
