‘Controlling Britney Spears’
In February of this year FX on Hulu set fire to a stick of dynamite with Framing Britney Spears, The New York Times‘ deep dive into the public perception of this pop star and her conservatorship. It was the spotlight the #FreeBritney movement needed, a movement that’s seen Jamie Spears filing a petition to end Britney’s conservatorship earlier this month. Now FX on Hulu is adding even more harrowing details to this twisted story with Controlling Britney Spears, its latest documentary. From the same filmmakers of the original doc, Samantha Stark and Liz Day, comes this never-before-seen look at the conservatorship and the figures that made it happen. It’s an examination that will upset you to your core.
