Produced and directed by award-winning filmmaker Michael D. Ratner, the 94 minute documentary follows Bieber and his team for the month leading up to the show as they rehearse and construct a monumental stage set. The film also captures personal self-shot moments between Bieber and his wife Hailey through the artist’s own lens.”
This will be the third documentary for the singer following 2011’s Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, &the 3-D concert film directed by Jon Chu that follows Bieber during 10 days counting down to what is considered his biggest performance, that of August 31, 2010 in Madison Square Garden, which sold out in 22 minutes.

Speaking at a screening in New York City last month, the singer explained the film saying, per USA Today: “I feel like it captures me actually becoming a leader,” he told that select audience, adding that “God is in control. And I think right now with this pandemic and all of the crazy things that are happening in this world, one thing is for certain and that is we are not in control.”
“I just wanted to create a night that was gonna bring people together and people could just let go and enjoy themselves,” the singer explains.
