A New Documentary About The Free Britney Movement Is Airing Next Month

If you've been following the #FreeBritney movement as close as we have over the last few years, you'll be excited to know that a new documentary centered around the singer's conservatorship is airing next month and it looks so good.

You can watch the trailer here:

Framing Britney Spears is set to launch as the sixth installment of The New York Times Presents docuseries, hosted on US television channel FX and FX On Hulu, and is launching on February 5^th. Exploring Britney's troubled music career, legal battles over her father's controversial conservatorship and the #FreeBritney movement, the film will also feature interviews with the people closest to her and lawyers involved in the conservatorship.

In one scene, an interviewee can be seen stating: "the way we treated her was disgusting", with another adding: "Why is her dad making all her decisions? Why is she still in this?"

Britney has been under her father's conservatorship since 2008, following hospitalisation for her declining mental health. While the court ruled that the conservatorship was supposed to be temporary, it was made permanent that December with Britney still under her father's control 13 years later.

More recently in August 2020, the singer said she no longer wanted her father to be in control of her conservatorship, asking that he be removed as the co-conservator of her estate in November 2020. She even went as far to say that she would no longer be performing while he was in control of her career.

The #FreeBritney movement was launched almost a decade ago by fans at the time who were wholeheartedly convinced that the singer herself also wants to be free from the legal binding, utilizing social media to bring awareness to the discrepancies surrounding the conservatorship.

We can't wait for this one!
