The “Janet Jackson” documentary tells the artist’s untold story, including never-before-seen moments. Through a series of archival footage and personal home videos, viewers will get to see the other side of the singer-songwriter. Her entire life, from childhood through her rise to fame, is captured in the film.

After three years of production, the “Janet Jackson” documentary is finally ready to make its debut. In addition to Jackson, it also features star-studded interviews with Mariah Carey, Missy Elliott, Whoopi Goldberg, Regina King, Tyler Perry, Samuel L.
