background
After Spears' guest appearance on How I Met Your Mother in 2008, The National Enquirer reported that Larry Rudolph, who was back as a manager for Spears, was planning a documentary about her life and comeback . According to media reports, the documentary should revolve around Spears' way back into the limelight after completely eluding the public after her collapse. The production company FremantleMedia published a press release on October 9, 2008. That same evening, MTV reported that the documentary would premiere on November 30th.
After Spears was confronted with enormous criticism of her way of life in previous years, it was her desire for clarification and the description of her view of things that ultimately led to the concept and the making of the film. Spears is unusually open about her past relationships with Justin Timberlake & ex-husband Kevin Federline. For the first time, she also takes a position on her criticized appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards 2007 and talks about the continued guardianship of her father James Spears. Furthermore, the film also shows Britney Spears as a private person, as there are some emotional scenes, as well as an insight into Spears as the mother of two sons.
