As a child of the ’80s who grew up idolizing the Queen of Pop herself, I can barely contain my excitement for Sky Original’s upcoming documentary, “Becoming Madonna.” This immersive journey through the early years of one of the most iconic figures in music history is sure to be a captivating ride.
A new documentary charting Madonna‘s rise to stratospheric fame is on the way from Sky Original.
This “immersive, archive-driven film” is centered around a collection of newly discovered audio recordings, where a younger Madonna shares insights about her personal life and professional journey.
The documentary will additionally include candid conversations with relatives, companions, and associates, some of whom are making their first appearance in a documentary.
The artist in question is among the top record sellers globally, with more than 400 million albums sold around the world.
From 1978 to 1992, Madonna’s journey unfolds, as she metamorphoses from a young, unknown artist into a global pop sensation. Her transformation sparks debates with the release of her provocative photographic book titled Sex.
The movie vividly portrays the tumultuous clashes Madonna faced with conservative groups during the 80s and 90s, as it was an era when conventional ideas about sexuality and gender norms were being boldly questioned. Throughout this time, Madonna was consistently leading the charge.
The movie will delve into the factors that propelled Madonna’s ambition, considering her mother’s untimely demise, as well as the passing of her dance instructor Christopher Flynn and close friend Martin Burgoyne, who both lost their lives during the 1980s AIDS crisis.
Hayley Reynolds, the temporary head of Documentaries and Factual at Sky, stated that since the 80s, Madonna has been a dominant force in pop music and paved the path for numerous current chart-toppers. This upcoming film offers a unique viewpoint on an everlasting symbol, and we’re excited to collaborate with Optomen to share her tale with Sky viewers.
The documentary titled “Becoming Madonna” is a joint production between Optomen and All3Media International, and it was greenlit for Sky Documentaries by Poppy Dixon, the head of Documentaries and Factual at Sky.
The executive producers behind the scenes of Sky’s upcoming documentary “Becoming Madonna” are Tom Barry, Bruce Fletcher, and Gilberte Phanor, while Michael Ogden takes on the role as director.
