Britney Spears is the subject of the unauthorized 2021 documentary Framing Britney Spears. Presented by The New York Times, the film sheds light on Spears’ ongoing conservatorship battle from 2008 to 2020. The Free Britney movement has raised awareness about the pop star’s desire to have her father, Jamie Spears, removed from her conservatorship.

Though it is limited by a small pool of Britney’s former contacts and by lack of communication with Britney, the documentary teaches the public about Britney’s legal situation and calls for a serious reevaluation of media practices involving women such as Britney Spears.

10 Britney Has Been Under Conservatorship Since 2008

While this fact might feel known after watching the full Framing Britney Spears documentary, many fans seemed to have forgotten how long Spears has been under conservatorship.

The New York Times 2021 documentary looks back at the early days of the conservatorship and reveals a rare and telling clip of Britney from 2008, taken from MTV’s Britney Spears: For the Record documentary. Spears said: “…If I wasn’t under the restraints I’m under right now, with all the lawyers and doctors and people analyzing me every day…if that wasn’t there, I’d feel so liberated and feel like myself…When I tell them the way I feel, it’s like they hear but they’re really not listening to what I’m telling them. It’s like, it’s bad. But I’m sad.”

9 Britney Has Shown Sound Judgment During Conservatorship

Framing Britney Spears presents the singer’s public struggles factually but also emphasizes that Britney has accomplished many feats since the conservatorship began. For example, she has appeared on network television, released multiple studio albums, embarked on various concert tours, and judged contestants on The X Factor.

The concern from devoted fans and Free Britney advocates stems from the more recent developments in Britney’s life, including a series of cryptic Instagram posts and videos. The Free Britney movement is more than social media analysis, but the pop star’s posts form the only direct line for fans to begin to grasp her narrative.

8 Britney’s Dad No Longer Oversees Her Person But Still Partially Controls Her Finances

Britney Spears’ father, James “Jamie” Spears, has been her conservator since 2008. The documentary explains that Spears decreased his role in 2019 due to his own health issues. Co-conservator Andrew M. Wallet also resigned that year after a suspicious interest in further profiting from Spears’ wealth, as outlined in the documentary.

The interim conservator of Britney’s person is Jodi Montgomery (through September 2021), but Jamie Spears still has control over Britney’s finances. He and corporate fiduciary Bessemer Trust are co-conservators of Britney’s estate. Britney funds the conservatorship as well as her and her father’s lawyers.

7 Britney Will Not Perform Her Music Until Her Father Is Dismissed

In August 2020, Britney Spears expressed her strong opposition to her father returning as a “conservator of her person” and preferred that Jodi Montgomery remain in the role. Though Montgomery remains interim conservator of Britney’s person, as granted by a judge in December of 2020, Britney’s additional desire to have her father’s control altogether removed has not yet been granted.

Framing Britney Spears explains that Spears is afraid of Jamie and will not perform publicly as long as he is one of her conservators.

6 Britney’s Inner Circle Is Tighter Than Fans Realized

A recurring difficulty throughout the documentary is the fact that Britney Spears is seemingly untouchable. The lack of recent interviews with the star cements the suspicion that she has little contact with people outside of her immediate inner circle. To make matters more confusing, little is known about Spears’ personal relationships with her parents, sister, and team at this time.

5 Britney’s Instagram Has Been A Hub Of Analysis For Supporters

One aspect of the Free Britney movement that has drawn widespread attention is the movement’s focus on Spears’ Instagram page. Britney’s grid is an enigmatic collage of dance videos, messages to fans, and photo shoots, along with inspirational graphics and quotes. Free Britney supporters have suspected that Britney uses the posts to send coded requests for help.

Fans and movement devotees have grown more worried at the sight of Britney re-posting photos of herself in the same outfits over and over again, even wondering if she is trying to draw messages of distress in her eye make-up. The documentary weaves in Britney’s Instagram posts throughout the story and interviews the co-hosts of a podcast called Britney’s Gram.

4 Britney’s Thoughts & Feelings Are Impossible To Know Outright

As important and influential as Framing Britney Spears has been, the project reinforces the fact that fans do not know exactly what Britney’s feelings or complete circumstances are. The aforementioned tight inner circle is basically absent from the documentary, and the filmmakers include a complete list at the end of the work to show who was interviewed and who declined or did not respond. Jamie Spears, Lynne Spears, Bryan Spears, and Jamie Lynn Spears do not voice their opinions.

3 Britney Has Been Asked Intrusive Questions Since She Was Young

Framing Britney Spears isn’t privy to current conversations with Britney Spears, but the documentary is full of interviews and press coverage from Britney’s past. Viewers see a heartbreaking collection of footage in which Britney is asked if she is a virgin, is asked about her body, and is asked about her boyfriends (with the boyfriends, even on Star Search at the age of ten). The intrusive questioning Britney underwent is woven into a discussion on the media’s treatment of women as sex objects.

2 Britney’s Mental Health Is Deeper Than A Flashy Headline

For fans who grew up with Britney, it is too easy to look back on her life as an array of snapshots, successes, and public struggles. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight’s Lauren Zima, Framing Britney Spears filmmaker Samantha Stark explains some of her goals for the documentary. She noted that people see the still frames of Britney Spears “shaving her head or hitting a paparazzo’s car with an umbrella.” Stark “really wanted to know what was outside the frame.”

The film succeeds in widening those frames and representing a three-dimensional concept of mental health, explaining what was going on behind the scenes as Britney navigated some of the biggest challenges of her life.

1 Britney Has Most Likely Noticed The Support From Free Britney

The end of the documentary offers a glimmer of hope where Britney’s wellbeing is concerned. Free Britney supporters show their happiness at a step in the right direction: a court document with Britney’s objection to her father’s wish to seal the case.

Entertainment Tonight includes much of the document’s content, but the documentary highlights the following: “…at this point in her life when she is trying to regain some measure of personal autonomy, Britney welcomes and appreciates the informed support of her many fans.”
