The two-minute trailer shows candid clips of Selena as she speaks about not being “good enough”, gets diagnosed with depression and anxiety, and visits those who have always supported her.

The pop star also recognises that she has to use her fame “for good”, and that the reason she is still here is to use whatever she has “to help someone else”.
