*The upcoming HBO documentary “Love to Love You, Donna Summer” is an in-depth look at the iconic artist and her personal struggles.
Directed by Oscar and Emmy-winning filmmaker Roger Ross Williams and Brooklyn Sudano, daughter of Donna Summer, the doc, per the press release, is: “Shaped by Summer’s own reflections, the memories of close family, friends and colleagues, and filled with the sounds of Summer’s songs, as she creates music that takes her from the avant-garde music scene in Germany, to the glitter and bright lights of dance clubs in New York, to worldwide acclaim, her voice and artistry becoming the defining soundtrack of an era.”
“A deeply personal portrait of Summer on and off the stage, the film features a wealth of photographs and never-before-seen home video footage — often shot by Summer herself — and provides a rich window into the surprising range of her artistry, from songwriting to painting, while exploring the highs and lows of a life lived on the global stage,” the description continues.
“Love to Love You, Donna Summer” will be available to stream May 20 at 8 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max. Watch the trailer below.

“I have a secret life. You look at people and what you see is not what I am,” the queen of disco says in the trailer.
Summer’s 70s hits like “I Feel Love” “Last Dance” and “Hot Stuff” but as a voice says in the trailer, she “struggled with her fame.”
Another voiceover says in the clip, “A lot of her life revolved around privacy and secrecy.”
The five-time Grammy winner died in 2012 at age 63 after a short battle with lung cancer. At the time, her family said in a statement that they “are at peace celebrating her extraordinary life and her continued legacy.”
“Words truly can’t express how much we appreciate your prayers and love for our family at this sensitive time,” the statement continued.
