Janet Jackson recently shared the first teaser for her upcoming documentary, JANET, on social media.
"Hey u guys. Excited to share the first teaser of my new documentary with u," she captioned the one-minute trailer.
"This is my story, told by me, not through someone else's eyes," the pop singer says in the teaser.
The four-hour biographical documentary is scheduled to air on A&E and Lifetime in January in two episodes.
The teaser includes concert footage, some footage from her childhood showing late brother Michael Jackson and late father Joe Jackson, behind-the-scenes looks at Jackson's life, old home movies, and interviews featuring Mariah Carey, Missy Elliott and Paula Abdul, among others.
"She's an empowered woman," according to Carey, while Abdul describes her as "a force to be reckoned with."
The Ben Hirsh-directed docufilm is produced by Lifetime and A&E, and co-produced by Associated Entertainment Corporation. Janet Jackson and brother Randy Jackson are the executive producers.
