The documentary is a collaboration between New York Times journalists Jason Stallman, Sam Dolnick, and Stephanie Preiss along with Left/Right’s Ken Druckerman, Banks Tarver, and Mary Robertson. The documentary goes into Britney Spear's career, her conservatorship and the subsequent #FreeBritney that gained immense traction on many social media platforms. The Britney Spears documentary tells about Spears's conservatorship, which started in 2008 by her father Jamie Spears. What it means is, her father essentially is in charge of every aspect of her life. From her finances to her accommodations to her allowance to her time with her kids, he controls it all. He is co-conservator for Britney along with a financial company called Bessmer Trust.

“The main thing that’s getting expressed by the #FreeBritney movement is asking us to question the conservatorship system,” producer and director Samantha Stark of The New York Times told Variety in an interview. “The central mystery of our film is that she’s living the life of a busy pop star, and yet we’re being told that she’s at risk constantly. She’s making millions of dollars, and yet, we’re told she’s incapable of making decisions that are in her own best interest,” Stark says. “That’s such a conflict, so it’s hard to understand why it’s happening, and so many of the court records are sealed.”
