Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Gaga: Five Foot Two, the Lady Gaga documentary that will premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival, will be available on Netflix Sept. 22.
"I had a rare opportunity to create a portrait of an artist with such an open heart and mind. I feel really lucky that Gaga trusted me and my vision," director Chris Moukarbel said in a statement Thursday.
"It is a rare moment when one is invited behind the curtain to witness the raw truth of an individual, even more so when that person happens to be one of the most recognizable, influential and scrutinized public figures in culture today," added Lisa Nishimura, vice president of original documentaries for Netflix. "Director Chris Moukarbel deftly brings us into Lady Gaga's intimate world; allowing us to experience the drive, conflict, passion, complexity and deeply personal creative process behind this singular artist."
"I'm excited for people to really get to know the woman I work with everyday," remarked Lady Gaga's manager Bobby Campbell. "She's one of the hardest working, most genuine, and truly hilarious people in the world."
