The world is finally getting the Rihanna documentary it deserves. 

Director Pete Berg (Lone Survivor) is helming a feature doc about the Anti singer, stylistically inspired by the 1967 Bob Dylan rock documentary Don't Look Back. The film will be produced by his company, Film 45.

Here's Film 45's statement about the upcoming film:

"Follow this true international superstar as she navigates life as an artist, businesswoman, and humanitarian, while contending with the inherent pressure of artistic freedom. Peter Berg’s Rihanna is an unfiltered look into Rihanna's life and how she's ascended to become a global icon, providing a glimpse into the evolution of one of the world’s most well-known pop artists."

Berg worked with Rihanna in 2012, on the action movie Battleship. The film marked her first major acting role. 

At the moment, the singer is currently undertaking a world tour in support of Anti, busy with Drake appearances and surprisingly talented fans. There's no set release date for the documentary.
