Fans can now able to know the real struggle of Selena Gomez. Apple Original Films announced on September 8 that they have landed the global rights to a new documentary feature titled Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me. The upcoming documentary will be directed and produced by Alek Keshishian.
Alek Keshishian directed the most successful documentary of its time the iconic, critically acclaimed film Madonna: Truth or Dare, still regarded as one of the most influential films of its genre. This film marks the second project for Apple with producers Lighthouse Management + Media and Interscope Films following their collaboration on the Emmy Award-nominated documentary Billie Eilish: The World’s a Little Blurry.
The streaming platform teases, “After years in the limelight. Selena Gomez achieves unimaginable stardom. But just as she reaches a new peak, an unexpected turn pulls her into darkness. This uniquely raw and intimate documentary spans her six-year journey into a new light.” The former Wizards of Waverly Place star will give us a rare look into her life as a singer, songwriter, actress, producer, entrepreneur and activist, according to Apple.
Gomez also took to her social media and teased the project with a video of her documentary playing on a small screen. The singer captioned the post, “Wanna hear a part to my story… My Mind & Me coming soon to @AppleTvPlus.” However, Selena Gomez has been in the headlines over the past six years. The songstress went through a very public breakup with singer Justin Bieber in 2013 and checked herself into The Meadows rehabilitation centre in 2014.
Selena also continued to be an advocate for mental health awareness, including through her Rare Impact Fund. Meanwhile, in 2017, the former Disney star revealed she had undergone a kidney transplant as a result of Lupus. She went on to receive her first Grammy nominee in 2021 and, most recently, has been working on the Hulu series Only Murders in the Building with Martin Short and Steve Martin.
