Encore: #FreeBritney | A Girl Named Luck...

Wondery
About this episode

For more than a decade, Britney Spears was trapped in a conservatorship that gave her father incredible power over every aspect of her life. It’s hard not to wonder: How did she go from pop princess to prisoner? With the recent publication of Britney's memoir, we revisit this season looking for answers. In this episode, Britney is a little girl with big dreams. She wants to sing and dance her way out of Louisiana. But when she’s catapulted to global fame, will it turn out to be more than she bargained for?
