Grammy-winning recording artist and actress Mary J. Blige reveals the demons and blessings that inspired her 1994 LP 'My Life,' and celebrates the 25th anniversary of her most influential work by performing the album live for the first time.
"Music star documentaries have come to life in 2020, with productions about personalities like Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande and Shawn Mendes. Now it's Mary J Blige's turn to talk about her life and experience on stage in 'Mary J Blige's My Life'. An exclusive production of Amazon Prime Video, the documentary shows the demons and blessings that inspired her 1994 LP "My Life", making her a symbol of R&B, soul and hip hop. However, a word of warning: like all music star productions, it's a whitewashed movie that doesn't leave the comfort zone when talking about J. Blige's life -- even if it takes risks from time to time."
