New documentary ‘Framing Britney Spears’

New York Times presents ‘Framing Britney Spears’ latest instalment in FX’s documentary series 

A humble girl from Kentwood, La, Spears began her career when she was cast at 11 years old in Disney’s Mickey Mouse Club, appearing alongside Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, and other eventual stars.

Six years later, her debut album with Jive Records, Baby One More Time positioned her at the forefront of  teen-pop explosion and rapidly launched her to superstardom.

In Framing Britney Spears, a new documentary by The New York Times, director and producer Samantha Stark aims to fill in some of the gaps about the conservatorship and the ongoing court battle.

Spears herself has not appeared for the sessions and statements are made through her court-appointed lawyer, Samuel Ingham.

The film explores the controversy that has swirled around the pop star, and specifically the 13 years that her father, Jamie, has served as her conservator, exercising control over her daily affairs and financial decisions.

Like many aspects of Spears’ story, it is impossible to know the full truth of what is actually going on behind closed doors, however the documentary gives more incite into her life and ‘issues’.
