One of pop’s enduring icons, Madonna’s origin story is being retold in a new documentary that premieres today.

Becoming Madonna is a feature-length film that’s built around audio recorded early in her career. It focuses on her life from 1978, when she arrived in New York City with the aim of making it as a professional dancer, to 1992, when she had become one of the world’s best-known – and most controversial – popstars.

The documentary includes rare footage and previously unseen archive content, including photos and recordings of those who knew her best during this period. One of the voices you can hear in the trailer is that of Madonna’s brother Christopher Ciccone, who passed away just a couple of months ago.
