Selena Gomez is giving fans a deeper look at her personal struggles in the new trailer for her upcoming documentary “Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me”.
“Just be who you are, Selena,” the actress is heard saying in the beginning of the clip. “No one cares about what you’re doing. It’s about who I am, being okay with where I am.”
“I am grateful to be alive,” she adds in the emotionally powerful trailer before cutting into a look at her years-long health struggles with Lupus — which she underwent a kidney transplant for — as well as depression and anxiety.
The official film synopsis reads: “After years in the limelight, Selena Gomez achieves unimaginable stardom. But just as she reaches a new peak, an unexpected turn pulls her into darkness. This uniquely raw and intimate documentary spans her six-year journey into a new light.”
