How to watch and stream Becoming Madonna, the new Madonna documentary

BBG News

As a lifelong fan of Madonna, I can hardly contain my excitement for her new documentary, “Becoming Madonna.” Having grown up watching her videos and listening to her music, I feel like I’ve been on this journey with her since the beginning. The fact that the film is based on audio recorded early in her career, and includes rare footage and never-before-seen archive content, makes it even more enticing.

I remember when she arrived in New York City with dreams of becoming a professional dancer, and I can only imagine what it must have been like for her to navigate the city and the music industry as an outsider. Her determination and resilience are truly inspiring, and I can’t wait to learn more about the personal losses she experienced and the high-profile relationships that helped shape her into the icon we know today.

One of the most touching moments in the trailer is when Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone talks about how being named after their mother either “crushed” or “elevated” her. It’s a reminder that even someone as successful and strong-willed as Madonna had to face challenges and hardships on her way to the top.

I’ll be tuning in tonight at 9pm on Sky Documentaries or Sky Showcase, and I can’t wait to see how this film brings her story to life. Plus, with Ron Howard’s “The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years” airing at 7pm, and Asif Kapadia’s acclaimed “Amy” following “Becoming Madonna” at 11pm, it promises to be a fantastic evening of music-themed programming.

I can only hope that this documentary will give me even more insight into the woman who has been an inspiration to millions for over four decades. And as a bonus, maybe I’ll learn a few new dance moves too!

Oh, and if you ask me about the price of Sky Stream or NOW memberships, well… let’s just say it’s worth every penny to be able to watch “Becoming Madonna” and all the other amazing content these services offer. Just don’t expect me to clean your house in exchange for a few months off your subscription!

In a new documentary airing today, the timeless legend of one of pop music’s most iconic figures, Madonna, is being reimagined and told anew.

As a budding artist in the ’80s, I embarked on a journey that took me from the bustling streets of New York City to global fame and controversy, all captured in the feature-length film “Becoming Madonna.” This cinematic exploration delves into my life’s transformation, starting from 1978 when I set foot in the city with dreams of a professional dancing career, to 1992, where I stood as one of the world’s most recognized popstars.

This documentary features exclusive, never-before-seen material such as photographs, audio recordings, and interviews with individuals closest to her during this timeframe. One voice you might recognize from the trailer is that of Madonna’s late brother, Christopher Ciccone, who sadly passed away a few months prior.

“She was our mother’s namesake,” he says. “That either crushes you or elevates you.”

Delving into the life story of Madonna, this piece highlights her early experiences with personal loss, her sense of isolation, and her meteoric rise to international stardom, encompassing prominent romantic associations like her wedding to Sean Penn. Tune in here for an insightful journey!

For those of you eager to catch the premiere of “Becoming Madonna” tonight (December 30), set your dial for either “Sky Documentaries” or “Sky Showcase” starting from 9pm. Please note that this documentary is exclusively available on Sky in the UK, and since both channels are subscription-based, you’ll need an active subscription to watch it.

Viewers of Sky Documentaries have an evening filled with music-themed content: Ron Howard’s “The Beatles: Eight Days a Week – The Touring Years” airs at 7 pm, and Asif Kapadia’s critically-acclaimed “Amy” will play after “Becoming Madonna” at 11 pm.

Furthermore, you’ll have the opportunity to watch “Becoming Madonna” on-demand following its debut if you are a Sky TV or NOW subscriber.
