Unveiling the Past
The documentary sheds light on Lopez's battles with a challenging childhood, marked by a longing for affection and acknowledgment.

The documentary, alongside her visual album 'This Is Me… Now', available on Amazon Prime Video, marks a bold step in Lopez's journey of self-discovery and healing, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of love and personal growth.
