Alexander meets Macchiarini while producing a documentary on his groundbreaking surgical techniques using stem cells in synthetic trachea transplants. Despite crossing professional lines, Alexander finds herself wooed by Macchiarini\u2019s charm, intellect and good looks, and the pair quickly falls in love. After traveling the world together, the couple gets engaged and, according to Alexander, Macchiarini tells her he wants to take over planning the wedding. It quickly becomes a grand, fairy-tale affair with an impressive guest list, including Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, and Elton John. He says they\u2019ll even be married by the pope. However, weeks before their Italian wedding, Alexander realizes things aren\u2019t as perfect as they seem and uses her investigative producer skills to uncover the truth behind Macchiarini and the planned wedding.<\/p>\n<p>At around the same time, the Karolinska Institute, where Macchiarini performed some of his transplant surgeries, has been digging into allegations from Macchiarini\u2019s colleagues that he fabricated parts of his medical research. Macchiarini eventually loses his position at the institute. His groundbreaking surgeries have been under investigation by Swedish prosecutors, and just last week he was indicted on charges of aggravated assault relating to three of his surgeries. A court date has yet to be set and Macchiarini has not yet entered a plea. He has denied all of the allegations against him.<\/p>\n<p>The premiere episode includes interviews with Alexander, her friends, family, and former co-workers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Morty Pick The series explores the troubling tales of people taken in by claims and promises that proved too good to be true, from identity fraud and misleading romance to the high-profile college admission scandal and Fyre Festival.
