'ESPN has released a new trailer for the next installment of its 30 for 30 series and it’s set to be a doozy. “Fantastic Lies” is the story of the infamous Duke lacrosse team case, and was directed by Marina Zenovich, who is famous for her Emmy-winning documentary Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired.

The film is set to debut exactly 10 years to the day from the night of the party that started the controversy, March 13, 2016.

For those not familiar with the case, on March 13, 2006 Duke’s lacrosse team threw a party. In the aftermath, Crystal Gail Mangum – a student at North Carolina Central University who had been working part-time as a stripper – alleged that she had been raped at the party. On March 15 the rape investigation went public and on April 18, team members Reade Seligmann and Collin Finnerty were arrested and indicted on charges of first degree forcible rape, first degree sexual offense and kidnapping. Former team captain David Evans was indicted for the same offenses on May 15.'
