, CNN will dedicate an hour this Sunday to the singer's setbacks in a report entitled

Toxic: Britney Spears 'Battle For Freedom

("Toxic: Britney Spears' fight for freedom"). Before that, the FX channel and the Hulu streaming service released last Friday

Controlling Britney Spear,

the sequel to the documentary

Framing Britney Spears

, released in February in the United States and available in France on Amazon Prime Video since April 5.

After a long, ultra-publicized judicial soap opera, accompanied by the increasingly popular #FreeBritney movement on social networks, the singer's father has finally asked to be relieved of his daughter, whose personal affairs he manages and financials for 13 years now.

The launch of the Netflix documentary, signed by director Erin Lee Carr and journalist Jenny Eliscu, comes as the pop star appears on Wednesday in a Los Angeles court that may have her father removed from his role as guardian.

On the eve of this crucial new audience for the star, the Netflix documentary asks the following question: "How did a pop legend and an accomplished woman end up having the same rights as a minor?" ?

“, Summarizes Erin Lee Carr, the director of the film in the columns of the

Los Angeles Times

.

"I have worked all my life and I owe nothing to these people"

The documentary therefore portrays a 16-year-old superstar who “never trusted anyone.

Not even his parents, ”according to a witness quoted in the film.

After a brief union and two children with dancer Kevin Federline, Britney Spears becomes a 26-year-old divorced mother, constantly harassed by the paparazzi.

In 2008, the singer refused to return her children to her ex-companion for his shift.

As a result of this blast on the front page of all the newspapers, his father takes control of his life and his immense fortune.

The documentary also chronicles Britney Spears' fight to regain her freedom.

“I want to get my life back.

I've worked my whole life and I owe nothing to these people, ”says Britney Spears in an excerpt from the trailer.

A sentence that resonates with the words of an interviewee who reminds us that those who manage the supervision do not work… Concretely, Netflix tries to find out who really benefits from this supervision.

The question of the systems of protection of American justice

Britney vs.

Spears

gives voice to many of the star's relatives (her personal assistant, the geriatric psychiatrist who examined her for guardianship) and legal experts.

Britney Spears, her parents or her fiancé Sam Asghari should not, except incredible surprise, appear in this documentary, because of the confidentiality agreements that surround all legal proceedings.

Netflix unveils some unpublished documents in order to better understand the mental and legal prison of the singer: in particular recordings of Britney Spears during her hearing on June 23 in front of the Los Angeles court, as well as many legal documents until then confidential.

The film also tries to broaden its point to talk about other systems of protection of the American justice which do damage in a total omerta.

If Britney Spears made the list of Time's 100 most influential personalities in 2021, it is because her case in the spotlight points to the flaws in the American legal system.
