In a confidential report in 2016, Britney Spears told a court investigator that her conservatorship had become “an oppressive and controlling tool against her.” But how the conservatorship has controlled her life has never been revealed. Now, in this New York Times investigation, a portrait emerges of an intense surveillance apparatus that monitored every move she made. From the makers of “Framing Britney Spears,” this film features exclusive interviews with insiders who had intimate knowledge of her life inside the conservatorship.

Nominated for a Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special.
