How Netflix’s top-secret Britney Spears documentary hopes to get her story right

LA Times  

A new Netflix documentary about Britney Spears will be released next week, the second film about the pop star to come out in 2021. The movie also forced Carr to reshape “Britney vs Spears,” the project she’s now spent 2½ years developing. California Photo essay: #FreeBritney fans on why they support the movement Outside a downtown Los Angeles courthouse Wednesday, demonstrators donned pink-accented “Free Britney” T-shirts and held signs calling for investigations of the singer’s management and security personnel, who have come under immense scrutiny following the buzzy release of FX/Hulu’s “Controlling Britney Spears” documentary. Even so, Carr says she’s never worked on anything as highly anticipated as “Britney vs Spears.” For the record: An earlier version of this post said Erin Lee Carr was 39 years old. “I was like, ‘This is next level.’ You can lose yourself inside the chaos of the story, but at the heart of it is this person publicly and privately trying to get their own freedom back.” In an interview with The Times, Carr discussed the difficulty of convincing sources to talk about Spears, how she feels about the singer herself watching the movie and the prospect of the conservatorship finally coming to a close.
