I think this will be fascinating… interesting to hear it sounds pretty one-sided. I hope it’s also on 9Now.
This is the sort of unimportant guff that people are interested in? Rich people’s problems. Also worth remembering that the word ‘fan’ is a contraction of fanatic.
There is a difference between “rich people problems” and someone losing all their human rights.
It’s not rich people’s problems if we are all listening to the music Chuck. We should be asking ourselves the cost of the entertainment we are enjoying and media stories sold to us. Potentially meanspirited guff post from you Chuck.
There are far more important causes than a rich, entitled pop star from the 90s/00s and her iffy personal life-there’s sympathy and there’s fawning indulgence folks!
Don’t feel it is an either / or situation. Judge it on the case the filmmakers make.
Maybe do some research about her situation. You clearly have no idea. This documentary is only the tip of the iceberg & doesn’t really dive deep into the conservatorship.
It’s a bit late to be honest – most people interested have tracked this down online already.
But, for those who haven’t, if you know nothing about what has been happening to Britney it’s a good starting point and I’d recommend for that reason. There is however, a lot missing. The documentary doesn’t delve deep enough into the conservatorship and the continued abuse of her basic human rights under the control of her father.
No mention of the upcoming Netflix Documentary? Would have been a nice tie-in.
I thought this was pretty weak. It felt very amateurish and made no attempt to tell a balanced story. I obviously feel sympathy for Britney but for me it raised more questions about her conservatorship than it answered.
Should have been fast tracked like in the U.K. & Ireland.
