From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Billie Eilish has shared a new trailer for her forthcoming documentary The World’s a Little Blurry.

The intimate film, directed by RJ Cutler, will premiere on Apple TV+ on 26 February. It tells the true coming-of-age story of the singer-songwriter and her rise to global superstardom. 

In the new trailer, Eilish talks about the teenage experience and how it inspired her to make music. “I look into the crowd and I see every single person in there is going through something,” she says.  

“I have the same problem. I was like, ‘Why don’t I turn this into art instead of just living with it?’”

In another clip, she tells fans at a concert: “You guys need to be OK because y’all are the reason I’m OK.”  

She also reveals she sometimes sleeps in her parents’ bed because she is “scared of monsters”.

Eilish recently said of the documentary: “It’s really about my life, me, in such a way that I was not expecting, and was pretty brutal to relive. I was going through hell in certain parts of my life, and I had no idea anyone was seeing it.”

The singer is currently working on the follow-up to her debut album, When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?
