Jackson is one of the best-selling and highest-earning artists in music history, but her longstanding career has been met with personal tragedies and public scrutiny. This authorized documentary tells Jackson's story in her own words, addressing controversies that surrounded her famous family and the 2004 Super Bowl Halftime Show. 

If you want another doc to watch on the musician, we recommend you stream the New York Times Presents' documentary, Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson, which is a deep dive on the repercussions Jackson faced following the infamous Super Bowl performance with Justin Timberlake and how it shook the country and pop culture.
