How To Watch I Am: Céline Dion In The UAE, KSA And GCC
The film documents the life story of the legendary pop icon, from international superstardom to her debilitating disease
In 2021, news broke that Céline Dion had been diagnosed with a life-altering disease.
The iconic songstress shared she had been battling with Stiff Person Syndrome, a rare neurological condition characterised by muscle stiffening, painful spasms, and compromised coordination.
Prior to the announcement, the My Heart Will Go On hitmaker had suspended her highly-anticipated Las Vegas residency, and soon after, largely disappeared from public life.
Now, the legendary superstar is giving fans a look into her life with the autoimmune disease, through the release of her new documentary, I Am: Céline Dion.
The film, which released June 25 on Amazon Prime Video, offers a candid and insightful glimpse into how the star deals with the effects of her disorder, her rehabilitation process, and attempts to return to the stage.
Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker, Irene Taylor, the documentary takes place within the confines of her family home, filled with a lifetime of memories and accolades, and now, essential medical equipment.
Amidst the backdrop of Céline Dion’s storied legacy – from her aspirations to become a singer at just 5 years old, to her rise to international superstardom and three-decade career filled with out sold out concerts and number one hits – the film documents the singer’s challenging present.
We see her at her most vulnerable, as one scene captures a harrowing episode of violent muscle spams, while others showcase her family life with her two boys, and the grief she went through after the passing of her husband in 2016.
At its essence, I Am: Celine Dion is moving reminder of the cultural impact of the pop superstar, and a heartbreaking tale of how she can no longer use her world-renowned voice.
