Pamela, a love story

Pamela, A Love Story is a documentary in which Pamela Anderson tells her own story, using personal video recordings and diary entries as the framework. She recounts her rise to fame, her turbulent romantic relationships and the scandal surrounding a widely circulated sex tape, speaking directly about how those events shaped her public image. The film stays close to her perspective rather than relying on outside commentary, with members of her family appearing alongside her.

Ryan White directed the film, which sits second in his chronological filmography, following The Case Against 8 (2014) and preceding Come See Me in the Good Light (2025) and Andrea Gibson: Love Letter from the Afterlife (2026). He produced it with Jessica Hargrave and Julia Nottingham for Dorothy St Pictures and Tripod Media. Those credited as themselves include Pamela Anderson, her sons Brandon Thomas Lee and Dylan Jagger Lee, her parents Carol and Barry Anderson, and Dan Hayhurst.

The documentary runs 113 minutes and was released in January 2023. On IMDb it holds a rating of 7.2 out of 10 from around 14,000 votes, while on TMDB it stands at 7 out of 10 from roughly 255 votes. The two scores are close, suggesting a generally favorable response across both audiences.
