About the show: Judy's life seemed destined to burn brightly - but briefly. She was a toddler who sang torch songs at the age of three; an overworked and insecure teenage star during the heyday of MGM; a passionate  wife and mother; and a drug-addled "bad risk" who nonetheless pulled off one of the most triumphant comebacks in history.

Through all the incredible triumphs and devastating defeats, Garland found strength in the unconditional love of her children. As told from her daughter Lorna's point of view, the story reveals a side of Garland - that of loving mother - rarely seen. The movie is a testament to the healing powers of embracing one's past, facing demons, and charting a course of discovery and self-love.
