“We all know Mary J. Blige as the two-time Oscar nominee, Grammy Award winning, multi-hyphenate who has sold over 80 million records. But through this documentary, audiences will see a raw and honest side of Mary J. Blige opening up about her personal journey of redemption and healing,” Matt Newman, co-head of movies at Amazon Studios, said in a statement.

Besides her hip-hop music career, Blige has TV credits that include Starz’s Power and The Umbrella Academy on Netflix. Her other TV credits include Scream and guest roles on How to Get Away With Murder and Black-ish.
