Lewis Capaldi announces 'raw and honest' Netflix documentary

LEWIS Capaldi will feature in a “raw and honest” Netflix documentary about his life.

The 26-year-old Glasgow born star is “pretty terrified” for people to see the “all access” film which has been in the making for four years.

The feature length music documentary ‘Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now’ will see him struggling to balance the familiarity of home and becoming a major celebrity.

It is set to be released globally on Netflix on April 5 following five back-to-back sold out global headline tours, screaming fans, and history making chart success.

The footage see’s the Someone You Loved singer returning back to his parent’s house to begin work on his highly-anticipated second album.

It follows him attempting to reconnect with his old life along with the family and friends he left behind.

The documentary arrives ahead of his second album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent - out May 19 on EMI Records.

It promises to show an intimate portrait of his unique character, hopes, and fears in his own words.

A post shared by Lewis Capaldi (@lewiscapaldi)

Capaldi said: “I’m pretty terrified for people to see this documentary if I’m quite honest, but I’m also really proud of it. I hope you enjoy it x”

Sam Bridger, head of music films at Pulse Films said: “This started out as a film about the process of creating the ‘difficult second album’, but ended up being an astonishingly unguarded portrait of the pressures of fame on young shoulders, exploring one of the great conversations of our age - mental health.

“Such unfiltered access to one of the biggest stars on the planet is testament to the bravery of Lewis and his team who invited us into their world, and the incredible trust and storytelling instincts of director Joe Pearlman, producer Alice Rhodes and the production team."

Stuart Souter, BMG vice president of films said: “This is much more than just a music film. With the support of his family, Lewis has opened up in a unique way. Just like his music, we are confident that it will connect with people around the world”.

Lewis Capaldi: How I’m Feeling Now is a BMG presents, in association with Quickfire Films, and Pulse Films production. The film was represented at market by Independent Entertainment.

The return of Lewis Capaldi has been phenomenal, rocketing straight to the top of the UK singles chart in September last year with comeback track ‘Forget Me’, which became platinum-certified and smashed over 200 million streams globally.
