Within the trailer, Ms. Jackson explains why she’s lifting her veil and sharing her story now. “It’s just something that needs to be done,” she says.
Clips from the doc show the iconic entertainer discussing her relationship with her “strict” father, her favorite brothers — Randy and Mike — and her love interests.
The film takes Jackson back to Gary, Indiana where she grew up and features never-before-seen footage of her meteoric rise to superstardom, and her life now as a mother.
The documentary has been 5 years in the making and according to lifetime is is “the definitive story on Janet Jackson.”
