“I spent my life owing people things,” the famous model and actress says in the film’s first teaser.
“I spent my life owing people things, and doing whatever they wanted. I finally asked myself, who will I be if I don’t allow that anymore?” This is the dilemma at the crux of, the forthcoming documentary about the famous model and actress’ rise to fame as the “face of the ‘80s” and beyond. Helmed by Lana Wilson, who also directed Taylor Swift’sdocumentary, the film first premiered at Sundance and will be on Hulu next month.
The doc gets its title from Louis Malle’s controversial 1978 film that Shields starred in when she was 12-years-old, about a child prostitute in New Orleans’ red-light district in 1917. In addition to its material, the film was protested at the time due to Shields being nude and kissing an adult male costar.
The documentary delves into the making of that film but also looks at Shields career as a whole, and how her early sexualization both reflected and transformed the way young women were perceived in America at the time. Per a release, the film “holds a mirror up to a society that objectifies women and girls, her story shows the perils and triumphs of gaining agency in a hostile world.
