It was at Mercury Records where Twain met producer and her future husband Robert “Mutt” Lange. (It was later revealed — and is addressed in the doc — that Lange had an affair with Twain’s best friend while they were married.)
The Netflix documentary will chronicle the ups and downs of Twain’s career and subsequent rise to fame, highlighting periods of love and loss in the star’s life, including her divorce and eventual remarriage to Frédéric Thiébaud.
Twain’s struggle with Lyme disease, which she contracted in 2003, will also be spoken about in the documentary.
“It was similarly intense to losing my parents,” she says in the trailer. “I thought I’d lost my voice forever; I thought that was it.”
