About the documentary:
As we celebrate the 40th anniversary of her very first album, this will be the definitive story of Janet Jackson, one of the best-selling and highest-earning artists in music history. Janet has enjoyed immense success but has also seen incredible tragedy. She has endured a tumultuous private life in the face of extraordinary public scrutiny.
With no stone left unturned, Janet Jackson lifts the lid on her private life for the very first time and reveals the most intimate moments of the star ever caught on camera.
The four-hour documentary event joins Janet as she travels back to her hometown of Gary, Indiana to see where her incredible journey began.
