Her story. In her own words. The Greatest Love Story Never Told, a new documentary from Jennifer Lopez, arrives to Prime Video February 27.

Directed by Jason Bergh, The Greatest Love Story Never Told follows Jennifer Lopez as she attempts her most daring project yet: independently producing a new album and cinematic original that explore her twenty-year journey to self-love. Intimate and empowering, the documentary offers unflinching access to Jennifer’s most personal moments as she works hard to reclaim her narrative through the making of This Is Me…Now. From interviews with her inner circle, including producing partners and longtime collaborators, to candid home moments, this is a vulnerable portrait of an icon who put it all on the line and discovered a newfound determination in self-acceptance and love.
Transcript
00:00 I've been married four times now.
00:05 I used to be terrified to be alone.
00:07 I didn't know what I was going to do by myself.
00:09 I have decided to tell my story
00:12 that I've never shared with anybody in the world.
00:15 Action.
00:17 I loved you so much, but that messed me up.
00:23 I'm sure people watching from the outside were like,
00:26 "What is this girl's problem?"
00:30 What I portrayed to the world was,
00:33 "Oh, this didn't work out, and it's fine,
00:36 and I'm good, and they're good."
00:39 And all of that was kind of bullshit.
00:42 It's a 20-year project,
00:44 and it became a three-part musical experience.
00:47 "This Is Me Now" is about facing the truth
00:50 of who you really are.
00:52 You look amazing.
00:53 You know, I look like a psychiatrist.

00:58 My husband says to me, "Why are you so stressed lately?"
01:00 I said, "I'm not just financing it.
01:02 I'm writing it, dancing in it, singing in it."
01:04 My God.
01:07 What am I doing?
01:10 Feel like you're not good enough.
01:12 You're not good enough as a partner,
01:15 as a mother, as all the things.
01:18 It takes courage to share your truths.
01:21 And I know it could end disastrously.
01:24 Nobody figures out anything
01:26 when everything's all hunky-dory and rosy.
01:29 You figure shit out when shit is hard.
01:33
01:35 I forget how much older I am than everybody now.
01:39 You live and learn. Let me say this to you.
01:42 The prize for aging is wisdom.
01:46
01:48 I don't know. I don't understand it.
01:49 I just--nobody does.
01:51 I don't need to do any of it.
01:55 But I want to.
01:58 Here we go.
02:00 I'm scared.
02:01 You don't look like it, though.
02:02
02:05 I don't act like I'm scared,
02:06 but that's the secret to my whole career.
