Which 2013 HBO documentary follows Beyoncé’s life and career?

The 2013 HBO documentary following Beyoncé’s life and career is Life Is But a Dream.

Life Is But a Dream premiered on HBO on February 16, 2013. Beyoncé co-directed and executive-produced the film with Ed Burke. It combines professionally filmed material with footage recorded by Beyoncé herself, offering views of rehearsals, performances, travel, family life, and the planning of her artistic work.

The documentary arrived during an important transition in Beyoncé’s career. It followed her performances at major events and appeared before the surprise release of her self-titled visual album in December 2013. The film therefore captures both public performances and more private reflections about fame and creative control.

Life Is But a Dream is distinct from Homecoming, which documents Beyoncé’s 2018 Coachella performances and was released by Netflix in 2019. Black Is King is also different: it is a 2020 visual album film connected to The Lion King: The Gift.
