But the four-part documentary reveals that behind the glitz and glamour was a web of abuse and exploitation at the hands of the band&#8217;s manager, Edgardo Diaz. Through revealing interviews with former Menudo members, the film examines how this extravagant facade was disguising serious wrongdoings by Diaz.<\/p><div id=\"morty-711566798\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>The four-part Max Original documentary MENUDO: FOREVER YOUNG, from filmmakers Angel Manuel Soto (Max Original &#8220;<em>Charm City Kings<\/em>&#8220;) and Kristofer R\u00edos (&#8220;<em>Havana Skate Days<\/em>&#8220;), debuts with all episodes on Thursday, June 23 on HBO Max.<\/p>\n<p>The documentary will have its world premiere at the 2022 Tribeca Festival on June 11 in New York.<\/p>\n<p>Angel Manuel Soto quote: &#8220;The Puerto Rican diaspora in New York played a critical role in the success of Menudo and its crossover in the US, shutting down traffic for blocks surrounding the band&#8217;s hotel and selling out Madison Square Garden on multiple occasions.
