Love, Lizzo

After her hit 2019 single "Truth Hurts" catapulted her to superstardom, Grammy- and Emmy-winning rapper/singer/songwriter Lizzo was hailed an overnight success. In this intimate and revealing documentary, the artist, born Melissa Jefferson, traces her long journey to the top -- from her upbringing in Detroit, her adolescence tirelessly practicing the flute in Houston, her move to Minneapolis to pursue hip-hop, and ten years spent hustling as a solo artist before achieving international fame. Filmed over three years, from her "‘Cuz I Love You" world tour, through the pandemic and the recording of her latest album, Love, Lizzo allows the multi-platinum artist to get candid about topics such as body positivity, self-love and recognizing Black women for their contributions.
