This business “geeks“has become an existential mission for Demi Lovato. Let’s add: fortunately. But not for her. We were lucky. In this era, populated kids influencers, minors who take the stage when they are still in elementary school, and parents who are passionate about making them famous, it’s good that someone reminds us that no, none of this is great. Life children’s artists in fact it is hell: it hurts them, but the whole family. For example, never heard of Britney Spears? Not that his relationship with his father was idyllic. What about Disney stars? After their golden years, three-quarters of them ended up in rehab. In short, there is a reason why all of humanity has been raising their children for centuries in a school, in a garden or in a chapel, and not in a factory or on a movie set. Burning stages is always a risk, and spotlights only make it more dangerous.

There is hope that all Italian psychologists will recommend it to families … But we said.

Because it’s one thing when an expert on duty arrives to illustrate possible theoretical and futuristic scenarios that a child actor might face. You listen to him and you might think: “Busting … there will be a less severe educational course.” On the other hand, things change if the speaker is a well-known name who has lived through this experience in his own skin. At this point, you can no longer say, “It won’t happen.” There is nothing theoretical here: it is all true. And often it’s even worse than you and the expert above can imagine. Take, for example, Lovato herself. As the actress said in the document Dancing with the devil, his life was hell. Or better. Obviously, she was fantastic: at just 10 years old, she became a Disney star in the series. barney and friends. She was very popular and famous. But also lonely, confused and at the mercy of others. For example, she lost her virginity at the age of 15 as a result of rape. The name of her attacker was never released, but he mentioned #metoo, so he must have been a powerful person in Hollywood. Then came the turn of a spiral of addictions, both from alcohol and drugs, and depression. In short, a nightmare.
One year after document Dancing with the devil, Lovato decided to return to this topic: this time, however, he does it as a director, attracting other small stars to the project. The promise is the same as always: no discounts. Here the truth is told, and nothing more. “We want to talk about what it means to grow up in front of everyone, learn to defend your boundaries and become the guardians of your destiny,” Lovato explained in an interview. The term used by the actress, namely defenders of their destiny, can only make us think: fame, especially when it is premature, exposes, isolates, puts us in crisis. And the price can be just that: personal fate, happiness, and sometimes sanity itself. Anyone who becomes famous at the age of 8, 10, 15 must learn to defend themselves against the world: a challenge that, as you can imagine, sounds very difficult.
“The film is more timely than ever given our increasingly complex world and growing lack of privacy,” said the producer. Michael D. Ratner OBB Media. “Demi and the talented people who took part in this documentary decided to share their stories in an authentic form.” And we can only listen to them.
