the NYT "Framing Britney Spears" documentary from 2021 put this tension on display, albeit unintentionally—the whole film is about the abusive obsession w Spears by the press, positioning her fans as the ones who save her. but the Free Britney mvmt itself was in some ways obsessive and unsettlingthe NYT "Framing Britney Spears" documentary from 2021 put this tension on display, albeit unintentionally—the whole film is about the abusive obsession w Spears by the press, positioning her fans as the ones who save her. but the Free Britney mvmt itself was in some ways obsessive and unsettling
