New documentary to tell "untold" story of South Florida's Island Boys

• "Trolled: The Untold Island Boys Story" will air on Gdocs.tv — where you can see the trailer now — and other streaming services this February.

The backstory: The Island Boys triggered both love and hate across the country. The catchy song "Island Boys" inspired countless covers and Halloween costumes.

• The duo have monetized their fame, in part through Cameos and NFTs that were promoted by DJ Diplo.
• But they have also been relentlessly mocked by critics, including Snoop Dogg, as caricatures of modern-day rappers.

What they're saying: The documentary's producer, Nathan Taupez Scinto, told Axios that he spent eight days with the Island Boys.

• "They're really, really smart. How the internet portrays them — that's a persona," Taupez Scinto said.
• He likened them to pro wrestling characters: "They're the villains."

What's next: Taupez Scinto said the documentary will reveal how the brothers make money, what their mom thinks of them, and "some skeletons."
