An article from the New York Times explains that their upcoming "Controlling Britney Spears" documentary "reveals a portrait of an intense surveillance apparatus that monitored every move the pop star made" and includes exclusive interviews with sources directly connected to the case.
According to an official press release, it will feature "new allegations from insiders with intimate knowledge of Britney's daily life inside the conservatorship" (via TVLine). Director Samantha Stark also noted the June court hearing in which Britney Spears publicly addressed her frustrations with the conservatorship for the first time.
"She said she felt abused under the conservatorship and questioned whether the judge thought she was lying. Britney's speech motivated the people in this film to seek us out to share their stories — at great risk to themselves — because they felt compelled to back up what Britney was saying with evidence they had or moments they witnessed," said Stark (via TVLine).
"Britney's situation raises a lot of important questions about the conservatorship system at large and whether it is working properly," said producer Liz Day. "We felt that it was in the public interest to examine that."
"Controlling Britney Spears" airs on FX and Hulu tonight at 10/9c.
