At the age of seven, Janet's father, tough talking Joe Jackson, put her to work in the family show. Her father never asked if she wanted to be a performer, so it's down to Janet to find her own path.

After two unsuccessful albums and a failed marriage, Janet decides that if she's going to have a musical career, it will be on her own terms; she has to take control of her life.

Janet signs multi-million dollar sponsorship contracts, lands leading roles in feature films, and becomes a sex icon. But with the news of accusations about Michael, her world comes crashing down.

Following the 'nipplegate' controversy, Janet finds herself blacklisted. Refusing to accept defeat, friends and fans fight for her right to be recognized as a true performing legend.
