Everything you’ve ever wanted to know about Grammy-winner Beyoncé will be revealed during a feature-length documentary airing on February 16, 2013 on HBO. Okay, so the network’s not promising they’ll answer all your Beyoncé questions with this “intimate, revealing” documentary, but apparently it will allow her fans a behind-the-scenes look at her private life. HBO President of Programming Michael Lombardo announced the upcoming documentary which was directed by, executive produced, and stars Beyonce.
“Everybody knows Beyoncé’s music, but few know Beyoncé the person,” stated Lombardo. “Along with electrifying footage of Beyoncé onstage, this unique special looks beyond the glamour to reveal a vibrant, vulnerable, unforgettable woman.”
Adds the singer/actress, “HBO has a history of pushingevery boundary with class and authenticity. Some of my favorite shows are on HBO, so I am excited that my film will be part of its bold programming. This film was so personal to me, it had to have the right home.”
The Details:
The film is a multi-faceted portrait of the 16-time Grammy Award-winning singer, businesswoman, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, wife and mother, showing off the extraordinary gifts that have made her a global phenomenon, and stripping away the veneer of stardom. It includes extensive first-person footage, some of it shot by Beyoncé on her laptop, in which she reflects on the realities of celebrity, the refuge she finds onstage and the transcendent joy of becoming a mother last year.
The film sheds light on her childhood in Houston, with home movies revealing the close bond she built with her family and charts the challenges Beyoncé felt when she decided to manage her career and build her own company, Parkwood Entertainment. It also captures the intense physical and emotional demands she goes through in the studio, preparing for live performances, running a business and her family life, including her return to the spotlight after the birth of her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, in January 2012.
