"This is my story, told by me. Not through someone else’s eyes. This is the truth. Take it or leave it. Love it or hate it. This is me", the musician says of the documentary.
The documentary has reportedly been in production for five years, following the death of the Jackson family patriarch, Joe Jackson, in 2018 and is directed by Ben Hirsch, with Janet Jackson and Randy Jackson as executive producers.
This film will mark 40 years since the singer’s debut album 'Janet Jackson' and will also touch on the accusations of sexual assault against her brother, Michael Jackson, as well as her infamous "wardrobe malfunction" with Justin Timberlake from their 2004 Super Bowl half-time performance.
Fans and admirers of the entertainment icon, as well as many others, are anticipating the film, set to release on January 28.
