“It’s been 13 years and it’s enough”
This film will once again explore the controversial conservatorship that has been in place since Britney Spears suffered a mental breakdown in 2008.
Posting the trailer online, Netflix also added the caption, “It’s been 13 years and it’s enough”.
Britney can also be heard saying in a voiceover at the start of the trailer, “I just want my life back”. Adding,“I don’t owe these people anything”.
The singer can also be spotted in the trailer heading to court, before a #FreeBritney protest is photographed on screen. The conservatorship is also described as “an epic fail of the legal system”.
Along with the trailer, Netflix also posted an official “Britney Vs Spears” poster on their Twitter account, with the caption “No more secrets. No more silence”. Check out both posts below.
