HBO has released the first trailer for its upcoming documentary on Tina Turner, Tina, set to premiere March 27th.
The trailer is centered around a snippet from a new interview Turner gave for the film, in which she tells a story about her mother, who ran off when Turner was still a child. Turner recalled simply watching her mother through the window as she cooked â âI thought she was so prettyâ â until one day, her mother was no longer there.
Against a triumphant montage of archival clips and a booming rendition of âProud Mary,â Turner continues, âI wanted her to come for me, and I waited. She never did. And itâs alright, you know why? Iâm a girl from a cotton field that pulled myself above the destruction and the mistakes, and Iâm here for you.â

Back in October 2018, Tina revealed that in her second memoir her many health scares of the last few years â which include everything from vertigo to cancer to a kidney transplant â as well as her successful, late-arriving romance with husband, and music executive, Erwin Bach, a man 17 years her junior.
Turner also unpacked other painful memories, writing about being raised by a mother who didnât want her, and the suicide of her eldest son, Craig.
