Streaming services make documentaries about everyone. Nobody has made one about him. So the author made the trailer himself.
The documentary does not exist. The trailer does. It is 30 seconds long, it is rated D for Dad, and it is coming never.
COPENHAGEN — Every week another streaming service releases a documentary about somebody: a con artist, a cult, a chef, a man with a tiger.
Nobody has ever made one about Abdel Seoud, the Danish author who wrote one book, printed one copy and priced it at $1,000,000. So he made the trailer himself.
The trailer is for "Dad, Look", a documentary that does not exist, from Dadflix, a streaming service with one title. DNN has the exclusive. You can watch it below.
"A documentary is two hours long," Seoud said. "My story is four lines. A trailer is the right length."

No streaming service has seen this article or has anything to do with the book. Dadflix is the author's own one-title streaming site. The trailer was made by the author, about the author, and the documentary does not exist.
