The Oral History of Madonna's 'Truth or Dare' (1991)
For the latest edition of its Oral Histories series, Vulture dove into the production, release and legacy of
Madonna: Truth or Dare, the landmark 1991 documentary. Among the participants in the story are director Alek Keshishian, Madonna's former publicist Liz Rosenberg (1983-2015) and several of the dancers that appeared in the film. (Madonna declined to be interviewed.)

On the film's genesis: "While I was interviewing [Madonna's dancers], that's when the cog started working in my brain. I was like,
Wait a second. These are all amazing kids. They're other. In some ways, they're broken, they're misfits in the world, and Madonna is playing their mother. [...] I came back and was like, 'Madonna, the movie isn't what's happening onstage. The movie is what's happening offstage with you as the maternal figure to this group of Felliniesque characters.'"
