my mind and me, the documentary about Selena Gomez expected on Apple TV + on November 4, was presented this Monday in a first trailer. These first images open a personal window into the life of the American superstar, highlighting two of her demons: the lupus that she suffers from and her mental health problems.
The 30-year-old actress and singer, revealed when she was 15 for the Disney Channel series Wizards of Waverly PlaceOn many occasions he has spoken about his health problems: after revealing that he suffered from lupus in 2016, he shared his battle against depression and anxiety and canceled part of his world tour to start therapy. In 2020, a few years after a kidney transplant, it was revealed that he had bipolar disorder.
“A Six-Year Job”
“After years in the spotlight, Selena Gomez has achieved unimaginable stardom,” reads an Apple TV+ synopsis. “But as she reaches a new height, an unexpected event plunges her into darkness. This raw and intimate documentary traces her six-year journey into a new light.”
“All my life, since I was little, I have worked,” she says through tears in this trailer released on the occasion of World Mental Health Day. “And I don’t want to be super famous. But I know if I’m where I am, I have to use it for good.”
“Something More Authentic”
my mind and me is signed by Alek Keshishian, director of the documentary in bed with madonna: “I didn’t feel like making a traditional documentary about a pop singer,” she declares in the columns of variety. “I’m willing to watch that one who chose the most authentic, and Selena also. Sa vulnérabilité pure de la fasciné me … Je ne doutais me pas à ce moment-là que je m’engageais pour un travail de six ans, guided by l ‘love.”
