Britney Spears’ controversial conservatorship is to be the subject of a forthcoming TV documentary.

The film, made by the The New York Times, is expected to chart the …Baby One More Time hitmaker’s rise to pop stardom and the subsequent controversy over her welfare.

“Her phenomenal rise to superstardom. A downfall that shocked the world. And now, an ensuing conservatorship battle,” reads a teaser posted by FX Documentaries on Twitter, alongside a trailer for the show.

It features interviews with several people involved in the campaign to free the star from the legal arrangement.

A description for the film reads: “People close to Britney Spears and lawyers tied to her conservatorship now reassess her career as she battles her father in court over who should control her life.”

The Gimme More star is currently locked in a legal battle against her father, Jamie Spears, who gained control over Britney’s life following her public breakdown in 2008.
