Living under a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/britney-spears-conservatorship-explained\/\">thirteen-year-long court-sanctioned conservatorship<\/a> by her father, Jaime Spears, she has been navigating life under the close watch of her conservators, unable to do or say anything publically without their approval. And while most people are aware of Spears\u2019 current situation, many people struggle to understand what led to the conservatorship in the first place, as well as the complete lack of autonomy Spears has over herself. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On February 5th, The New York Times released <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Framing Britney Spears <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">on Hulu, a documentary set to investigate Spears\u2019 conservatorship. Starting from her first job when she was just a child to her current life, the documentary provides interviews and evidence to support her and shed light on the unconstitutional conservatorship, as well as what the conservatorship means for Spears, and the rules she must abide by.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=&#8221;24357&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many have wondered where Spears has disappeared to these years and why she has neglected to release new music. One of her lawyers says \u201cMy client has informed me that she is afraid of her father. She will not perform again if her father is in charge of her career.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">While Spears has never been able to speak on the situation herself, she has made it clear through her lawyers and subtle Instagram hints that she is requesting help, and wants out of the conservatorship. Many have gone as far as to form groups dedicating to dissecting her Instagram captions and pictures, with a <a href=\"https:\/\/britneysinstagram.libsyn.com\/\">podcast surrounding her social media presence<\/a> being one of the catalysts of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.freebritney.net\/\">#FreeBritney<\/a> movement, and The New York Times\u2019 inspiration.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]https:\/\/twitter.com\/beewestwood\/status\/1361805405840678917?s=20[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The documentary includes interviews with family friends, marketing executives, lawyers and paparazzi, all with a unique and never-before-heard take on her situation. The film calls for Spears\u2019 liberation, accusing the media of over-sexualization and manipulation leading to mistreated mental health issues, and Spears\u2019 eventual loss of autonomy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The documentary has gained quite a lot of traction since its release, with many <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrity-news\/pictures\/paris-hilton-miley-cyrus-more-celebs-support-freebritney-movement\/\">celebrities calling to end the conservatorship<\/a> and bringing awareness to the movement.
