Par Mulder, 22 mars 2021

Amazon Prime Video announced today that the documentary event Framing Britney Spears, directed by Samantha Stark and produced by The New York Times and Left/Right (a production subsidiary of A Red Arrow Group) will launch exclusively on Prime Video on Monday, April 5, 2021 in the following countries and territories: France, Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Belgium, Andorra, Monaco and Austria.

The whole world has followed her phenomenal rise so closely that her decline has become a subject for all kinds of skids. Framing Britney Spears looks back at the pop singer's extraordinary career and focuses on the support movement that arose after her court-ordered guardianship, while at the same time uncovering the cruellest aspects of the pop star-making system in the US. In front of the camera, people close to Britney Spears now re-evaluate her career as she fights her father in court to regain control of her life. Using archival footage and multiple testimonies from journalists, photographers, #freeBritney activists and her former collaborators (assistant, stylist, dancer and lawyer), Framing Britney Spears raises very current questions about mental health and the rights of everyone. This explosive documentary with a worldwide buzz has triggered an unprecedented wave of media support for Britney Spears.

The executive producers of Framing Britney Spears are Jason Stallman, Sam Dolnick and Stephanie Preiss of The New York Times, and Ken Druckerman, Banks Tarver and Mary Robertson of Left/Right. Amazon Prime Video has acquired exclusive French and German language broadcast rights to the documentary from ORIGINALS FACTORY.
