What is the name of Beyoncé’s 2013 HBO documentary about her life and career?

Beyoncé’s 2013 HBO documentary about her life and career is titled Life Is But a Dream.

The documentary premiered on HBO on February 16, 2013. Beyoncé co-directed and executive-produced the film, which combines interviews, personal video, concert footage, and behind-the-scenes material. It covers her professional ambitions, family life, pregnancy, and preparation for major performances.

The title reflects the documentary’s focus on the boundary between Beyoncé’s private self and her public persona. It arrived during a period when she was expanding her creative control and presenting a more personal account of her work.

Life Is But a Dream is distinct from Homecoming, which documents her 2018 Coachella performances and was released by Netflix in 2019. It is also different from Black Is King, a 2020 Disney+ visual album inspired by The Lion King: The Gift. Those later projects center more heavily on performance, visual storytelling, and album worlds.
