A new doc shows why it’s so powerful Applying the rigor of “Frontline” to the story of her conservatorship, “Framing Britney Spears” is a pointed work of criticism aimed at celebrity culture. Her most vocal fans have long been dismissed or ridiculed as #FreeBritney “conspiracy theorists,” but, in court proceedings, the singer’s legal team said she “welcomes and appreciates the informed support of her many fans.” “I have always wanted nothing but the best for my better half, and will continue to support her following her dreams and creating the future she wants and deserves,” Asghari told People. Organizers of the #FreeBritney movement told The Times that they believe the documentary is a “fantastic” portrayal of “Britney’s surreal and totally unfair situation.” “Framing Britney Spears” has renewed interest in the legal arrangement and the long-running #FreeBritney campaign, both of which have gained steam in the last year.
