The story about how Rihanna’s made her way to fame and fortune will soon be coming to Amazon.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the company paid RiRi $25 million for the rights to stream the untitled documentary worldwide. The film has been in the works since 2016 and is billed as an “unfiltered look” into Rihanna’s life and becoming the global icon that she is today.

Director Peter Berg says he compiled more than 1,200 hours of footage. The shoot even captured the crew almost encountering an international tragedy.

“We were in Nice (France),” Berg said. “She was going to do a concert on Bastille Day. And that truck driver who killed all those people plowed through them right in front of our hotel. So even in me trying to do something light, I had a very, very front row seat to something that horrific.”

The release date for the documentary has not been announced yet.
