Known for the likes of the award-winning The Queen of Versailles, documentary filmmaker and photographer Lauren Greenfield is back with her latest work: an inside look at Atlanta’s legendary Magic City. Known for being much more than just a strip club, the ATL hot spot has long been known as the place where aspiring rappers attempt to make headway “and where dancers and DJs call the shots as they seek out their own fame and fortune.” Here, Greenfield offers up a look at the rappers, strippers, hustlers and dreamers that make up the club’s magical world.
