1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's Well, there's a new documentary that neither

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: of us has seen. It's not available in Australia just yet.

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: It's called Framing Britney Spears. It's been made by the

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: New York Times. And this hearkens back to the Free

5
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,919
Speaker 1: Britney Spears movement that has been going for some time,

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: and a lot of people thought that was just the

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: domain of crazy fans and a couple of nutjobs. But

8
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: she still has what's the word, Her father has governance

9
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 1: over or conservative ship ye over all her movements, all

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: her legal decisions, all her money decisions, how she lives

11
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: her life is governed by her father. But also at

12
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 1: the heart of this documentary is not only what's going

13
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,239
Speaker 1: on there, but it's what was it about us that

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: made us treat her so badly? He's the trailer for

15
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: the doco. Britney was so serious and so focused, just

16
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: as a girl that's coming from strength, she was so

17
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: open and vulnerable. How we treated her was disgusting. Brittany

18
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: had to navigate being told who she could be and

19
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: what she could do. People became fascinated with her sort

20
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: of unraveling. She accepted that the conservatorship was going to happen,

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: but she didn't want her father to be a conservative.

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,760
Speaker 1: That was her one request. And anytime there's that amount

23
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: of money to be made, you have to question the

24
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: motives of everyone close to that person. Do they always

25
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: have her best interest at heart? Something is going online

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the scenes here. I didn't understand what a conservatorship is,

27
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: especially for somebody capable of so much that I know

28
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: firsthand she's capable of. Why is she still in this?

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Why is her dad making all her decisions? Oh my god? Ready?

30
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: And a big part of it apparently, And I've only

31
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: read the conversation around it, because, as I said, I

32
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: haven't seen it. Is looking at the casual way that

33
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: we took her mental breakdown as entertainment. Yeah, and as

34
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: a vulnerable young woman that she was treated. And I

35
00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: know she was marketed very early on. Her first song

36
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: was so it hit me one more time? Is that

37
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: a first song where she was dressed as a sexy

38
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: schoolgirl And so she didn't control her own image for

39
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: a number of years. And when she actually went through

40
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: what looked like a nervous breakdown in two thousand and seven,

41
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: she shaved her head. She lashed out at reporters. It

42
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: was seen as sport for the media, and in the

43
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: same way that every single day middle aged women apologized

44
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: to Monica Lewinsky for not appreciating what she went through

45
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: at the time, people are now thinking, Wow, how could

46
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: I have been so blind to the trials of Britney Spears.

47
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: That sounds like a strange thing to say, But how

48
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: come I just saw her as a crazy puppet and

49
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,799
Speaker 1: I didn't care. Maybe there was something in this guy,

50
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 1: after all, A loud who would have thought he's the

51
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: only one who actually read the room? Who would have

52
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 1: thought Jonesy and a man examination
