Through exclusive interviews, unheard tapes, and rare and never-before-seen archive footage, this immersive, archive-driven feature documentary tells the compelling story of how Madonna  became the most powerful woman in pop. 

From the devastating loss of her devoutly Catholic mother to cancer at age five to her arrival in New York at nineteen as a penniless dancer from Michigan in 1978, Madonna knew she was destined for greatness but wasn’t sure exactly how. 

Set against the backdrop of Reagan’s America and music industry misogyny of the 1980s, the film charts Madonna’s astonishing transformation from Midwest teen into a superhuman champion of sexual liberation for young women and the gay community. 

It reveals how the loss of close friends to the AIDS pandemic emboldened her message of creative freedom, no matter the cost.

This is the story of the events that shaped Madonna and how she, in turn, shaped the world.

Becoming Madonna airs Thursday, January 30 on Channel 9 and 9Now
