Voyeur

Initially, VOYEUR spotlights Gerald Foos, the longtime owner of the Manor House Motel in Aurora, Colorado, as he proudly describes himself as a "researcher" with reams of valuable written notes. His "research" was conducted by installing an observation platform in the roof of his motel in the late 1960s and watching his unsuspecting guests. Foos approaches notable journalist Gay Talese in 1980, telling the writer that he doesn't want to die leaving all he discovered lost forever. As he describes it, "think sexual circus every night of the week." Talese encourages him, keenly aware of the story's possibilities. The two work together through publication of a New Yorker article and a published book in 2016. Talese and Foos seem on the verge of chart-busting success. However, after a series of bizarre discoveries and setbacks, they find themselves embroiled in controversy, chaos, and anger.
