‘Framing Britney Spears’
Framing Britney Spears, the latest installment in The New York Times Presents series, paints a heartbreaking portrait of one of the world’s most famous women. Using interviews with those close to the Spears family and legal experts involved in Britney’s conservatorship case, the documentary explores the rise of a pop icon and her devastating and very public loss of control. It not only gives a platform to the passionate, growing #FreeBritney movement, but provides a larger, sobering look at stardom — specifically the challenges women face that come with fame — and the lasting damage that sexism, judgement, and ridicule can wreak on a young star.
