Plots(1)
The 16-time Grammy award winning singer, business woman, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, wife and mother offers a rare glimpse into the realities of life as a superstar. Life Is But a Dream sheds light on Beyoncé’s childhood in Houston, the intense physical and emotional demands of life in the studio, the commitment and hard work required as she prepares for live performances and the realities of running a business alongside family life. A mix of personal interview footage - some of it filmed by Beyoncé herself - home movies and stage performances, this feature-length documentary sees the star reflect on celebrity, the refuge she finds on stage, her joy at becoming a mother for the first time and her experiences of returning to the spotlight after the birth of her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter.
