REAL, and heartbreaking.
3 March 2020 | by timeofourlife2012See all my reviews

This documentary was real and it's heartbreaking to hear Britney Spears talk about the conservatorship that she has been legally trapped in for (now) over a decade, as I write this in 2020. It's heartbreaking.

I see a girl who explains that she was upset, in a bad place at one time but she has learned her lesson and she wants her freedom back. Unfortunately, she is surrounded by people who live off her millions including her father. It's very sad to watch but very important. Now you'll never see this air again or Britney to do a interview like this because the c-ship has become even more controlling and won't let her truly speak without a script. Heartbreaking, and a true tragedy.
