Beyoncé - Life Is But A Dream (HBO Documentary Trailer)

Continuing to add-on to what has already been quite the start for Beyoncé‘s 2013 year, we now get a brand new trailer for her upcoming HBO documentary. The film will be titled Life Is But A Dream, and in the newly revealed trailer, viewers get to enjoy some behind-the-scene clips as Bey narrates through.

The film is a multi-faceted portrait of the 16-time Grammy Award-winning singer, businesswoman, songwriter, actress, entrepreneur, wife and mother, showing off the extraordinary gifts that have made her a global phenomenon, and stripping away the veneer of stardom. It includes extensive first-person footage, some of it shot by Beyoncé on her laptop, in which she reflects on the realities of celebrity, the refuge she finds onstage and the transcendent joy of becoming a mother last year.

The film sheds light on her childhood in Houston, with home movies revealing the close bond she built with her family and charts the challenges Beyoncé felt when she decided to manage her career and build her own company, Parkwood Entertainment.  The film also captures the intense physical and emotional demands she goes through in the studio, preparing for live performances, running a business and her family life including her return to the spotlight after the birth of her daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, in January 2012.

Beyoncé is also signed on as the executive producer for the documentary, which is set to air February 16.
