Britney vs Spears, a documentary on Britney Spears' much-talked-about and discussed conservatorship, premiered on Netflix on Tuesday, September 29. If you are expecting to unearth some unknown facts about the troubled singer through this documentary, you will be a bit disappointed. Journalist Jenny Eliscu and filmmaker Erin Lee Carr are seen investigating Britney Spears' conservatorship that has been there for more than 13 years now. The duo is seen speaking to people who are and were once close to Britney.

Directed by Erin Lee Carr, Britney vs Spears begins with Britney's rise to fame, her wedding to Kevin Federline, losing the custody of her kids, followed by her father Jamie Spears getting her conservatorship. Carr and Eliscu are seen speaking to Britney’s paparazzo-turned-boyfriend, Adnan Ghalib, her one-time manager Sam Lutfi and assistant Felicia Culotta. The makers also played the texts exchanged between Britney and Ghalib, where she is seen opening up about her ordeal. They also played a voicemail message that the singer had left her lawyer in 2009. Britney can be heard pleading for help so that she doesn’t lose access to her children.
