Madonna’s career is set to be captured in the tell-all documentary that promises to expose the secrets behind her rise to the top.
RadarOnline.com reported that the film has no plans on holding back and it will expose the singer’s world of s*x, drugs, and the rumors surrounding her – from health issues to cosmetic procedures.
On Tuesday, Sky Documentaries announced the release of the “immersive” documentary, Becoming Madonna – adding that it centers on newly discovered audio tapes featuring a young Madonna opening up about her remarkable life and career.
It also features rare footage, unseen photos, and exclusive interviews with family, friends, and collaborators speaking out for the first time.
A source told RadarOnline.com: “This film is going to be no-nonsense.
“There will no shying away from Madonna’s world of s*x, drugs and ambition as she rose to the top – and it will tackle her secrets, tragedies and the mass of rumors that have been swirling around her recently, from illness to facelifts.”
Madonna’s new film chronicles her transformation from a 19-year-old outsider to the world’s most controversial pop star, covering the years between 1978 and 1992. It highlights her rise from an aspiring dancer to an iconic figure, culminating in the release of her provocative 1992 book, S*x.
The documentary explores Madonna’s courageous challenges to societal norms surrounding sexuality and gender, particularly during the 1980s and 1990s. It features previously unseen archival footage that sheds new light on the personal tragedies that influenced her life, including the early deaths of her mother, dance teacher, and close friend during the AIDS crisis. These moments will reveal a Madonna who is smarter, more radical, and more vulnerable than ever before.
Hayley Reynolds, Acting Director of Documentaries and Factual at Sky said: “Since her debut in the 80s, Madonna has been a powerhouse in pop music and carved the way for many of today’s most popular artists.
“This film brings a fresh perspective on an enduring icon and we’re thrilled to be working alongside Optomen to bring her story to Sky audiences.”
Nick Hornby, Co CEO of Optomen, added: “We’re so grateful to the team of Sky Documentaries for backing us on such a bold and audacious film.”
Becoming Madonna will be released on Sky Documentaries and NOW soon, though an exact date is yet to be confirmed.
