Beyoncé Lets Down Her Guard in HBO Documentary [Trailer]

Beyoncé gives viewers an intimate look inside her life in her feature-length documentary, premiering February 16 on HBO. Described as “raw, real, and revealed,” the special will feature never-before-seen footage of the pop superstar including home videos from her childhood and candid moments offstage with her family including Jay-Z.

“I always battle with how much do I reveal about myself,” says Bey. “If I’m scared, be scared. Allow it, release it.”

Viewers will get to witness the physical and emotional demands as she records, rehearses for live performances, and balances family life, culminating with her return to the spotlight following the birth of her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.
