What was the name of Beyoncé’s 2013 autobiographical HBO documentary?

Life Is But a Dream was Beyoncé’s 2013 autobiographical HBO documentary.

The film premiered on HBO in February 2013 and combines concert footage, private videos, interviews, and reflections by Beyoncé. It covers her professional life, creative process, family, pregnancy, and decision to separate from her father Mathew Knowles as her manager. Beyoncé directed and executive-produced the project.

The documentary is often confused with Homecoming, which focuses on her 2018 Coachella performances and was released by Netflix in 2019. Black Is King is a 2020 visual album film connected with The Lion King: The Gift, while Making the Gift is a separate behind-the-scenes documentary series.

Life Is But a Dream arrived shortly after Beyoncé’s widely discussed performance at the 2013 Super Bowl halftime show. Its intimate format helped audiences see how she presented personal and career milestones in her own words and images.
