Why watch this film?
Directed by documentary filmmaker Lana Wilson ('The Departure'), with the support of producers Caitrin Rogers ('Father of Black Music') and Morgan Neville (director of 'Won't You Be My Neighbor?'), this is the first documentary to investigate Taylor Swift's personal life offstage, but with an emphasis on her life as an artist. Controversies about music rights aside, 'Taylor Swift: Miss Americana' (whose title is inspired by a song from her album 'Lover') is an essential film for fans of the singer, but also for those who want to know more about the hardships of being a young woman in the complicated show business, always under the scrutiny of the public and the media. In addition to being part of the official selection of the 2020 Sundance Film Festival, the documentary includes the unreleased song 'Only the Young'.

Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields
Star+'s exclusive two-part documentary (Hulu in the United States) directed by filmmaker Lana Wilson ('Taylor Swift: Miss Americana') and premiered at the 2023 Sundance Festival, about the iconic actress and model Brooke Shields, who reached the top of her fame during the 80's (with the movie 'The Blue Lagoon') and 90's. However, much more than a mere account of her trajectory and impact on popular culture, 'The History of Brooke Shields' is a denouncement against the way the entertainment industry sexualizes and exploits young artists - or even children in the worst cases. The documentary also explores how Shields learned to reclaim her power in this environment, presenting a full portrait of Brooke the woman that is deeper than Brooke the icon.

Rosa Peral's Tapes
Following the same format as the documentary about the crime committed by Elize Matsunaga, which interviews the murderer to better understand her methods and thoughts, Rosa Peral's Tapes showcases the first interview with Rosa Peral, who has been in prison since she was convicted of her partner's murder with the help of a former lover. Following the successful true crime film format, the feature film explores the crime to the fullest – without much shame in doing so – while attempting to uncover the human side of this entire criminal case.
