An exclusive trailer for Tina, an upcoming documentary about Tina Turner, described as “the ultimate celebration of a global superstar,” has just been unveiled. 

The film, announced earlier this month (see here), promises an “unvarnished, dynamic account” of the icon’s life story that, until now, have been kept private. Her story will be told through “insightful” interviews with Tina herself, in addition to figures such as actress Angela Bassett, husband/former record exec Erwin Bach, Oprah Winfrey, and more.  

In our first look at the upcoming film, we find Tina herself reflecting on her early childhood memories of her mother, cut to stunning archival footage. Check it out below.

The film’s official synopsis of Tina reads: “From her early career as the queen of R&B to her record-breaking sell-out arena tours of the ’80s, Tina Turner draws back the curtain to invite us into her private world in a way she has never done before.”

“Revealing her inner-most struggles, and sharing some of her most personal moments, TINA is the defining and inspirational record of one of the greatest survivors in modern music.”

Tina was directed by Oscar-winning directors Dan Lindsay and T.J Martin and will debut on Saturday, March 27 via HBO (streaming on HBO Max). Find out more info, here.
