Producer Benita Alexandra and Paolo Macchiarini’s story started in the year 2013 when the former was approached to cover the story of surgeon Paolo. They worked together on Paolo Macchiarini’s documentary, titled A Leap of Faith, about synthetic organ transplants and stem cell treatments.

According to a report by Distractify, Benita Alexander fell in love with Paolo while they worked together on A Leap of Faith. She only learnt later that the surgeon had been married for 30 years and had been lying about a number of things to her. They split in the year 2015.

After splitting with Paolo Macchiarini, the documentary producer continued to work on a wide range of docudramas and documentaries. During the year of separation, she was a part of films like Breaking the Silence and Counting On. In the next few years, she played a pivotal role in creating films and shows like Seduced By Evil, Still a Mystery, and Crimes Gone Viral. A few of these documentaries were on the Investigation Discovery network, which was closely associated with Benita Alexander.
