Demi Lovato's new Hulu documentary, "Child Star," offers an unflinching look at the challenges faced by young performers in the entertainment industry.
Featuring interviews with Hollywood A-listers like Drew Barrymore and Christina Ricci, the film explores themes of exploitation, addiction, and mental health struggles.
Lovato, a former child star herself, bravely shares her own experiences, including a harrowing account of bullying and a "suicide petition."
The documentary calls for better protections for child actors and highlights the lasting impact of early fame.
Lovato's own journey, including her struggles with substance abuse and a near-fatal overdose, underscores the high cost of growing up in the spotlight.
"Child Star" is a powerful reminder of the need for change in an industry that often prioritizes profit over the well-being of its youngest stars.
