SEVEN BUCKS PRODUCTIONS, founded by DWAYNE JOHNSON and his producing partner DANY GARCIA, is partnering with podcast network CADENCE13 for a new podcast, "WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?"  The six-episode show, written, hosted and co-produced by filmmaker and documentarian ANDREW JENKS, looks at the backstories behind some "real-life dramas" involving MUHAMMAD ALI, CHRIS CHRISTIE, PRINCESS DIANA, MICHAEL JORDAN, BRITNEY SPEARS, and WINSTON CHURCHILL, challenging the "official" narratives.

In a press release, a quote attributed to JOHNSON and GARCIA says, "WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?' allows us to explore a method of storytelling we've never touched upon before.  We're removing everything we think we know about these epic tales, and putting fresh eyes and new sources into the mix -- taking our audience with us for the ride with every story, every encounter and every investigation we unfold. No conspiracy theories, just facts -- and with JENKS at the helm, we've been able to create a remarkable narrative that our SEVEN BUCKS global audience will love."

"I think in order to extract 'WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?' in every episode, it's necessary to realize the motives—good and bad—behind everyone we cover," said JENKS. "For each story, I've tracked down previously unknown figures who have had vital roles in each story but have been overlooked, pivotal people who have never before been interviewed. For each episode, I've spent months, and, in one case several years, working to best understand these public figures and historical moments. Based on my experience developing documentaries, living on the rails for weeks on end to understand hobos or living in JAPAN for months to capture the essence of an ex-pat American coach, what has surprised me about developing this podcast is that equal intensity required to get to uncover the essence of each respective topic or subject. "

"This podcast is not only a fascinating and entertaining ride, it is also grounded in facts," said CADENCE13 Chief Content Officer CHRIS CORCORAN. "Each story dives deep into the real lives of these formidable figures and what was happening in their worlds at the time. The follow-on reaction episodes break new ground, engaging the wider audience to further develop and tell each story together with JENKS."
