Synopsis
Internationally known for pop anthems like “Love Song” and “Brave,” this cinematic portrait observes the most private corners of Sara Bareilles’ creative process, as well as her personal life. What unfolds in front of the camera is the incredibly raw experience of mining one’s own pain to create art — and the hope that carries an artist forward: that sharing what is broken in oneself might ultimately bring us closer to healing and repair.
