Britney Spears is an American singer, songwriter, dancer, actress, and occasional author. The documentary reveals Spears's most intimate moments in the span of 60 days, from the beginning of her much publicized meltdown, until how she returned to the music spotlight. She also reflects on past decisions, saying "I'm a smart person... What the hell was I thinking?!" For the Record includes footage from her appearance at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, going into the recording studio, to the video shoots of her singles "Womanizer" and "Circus"—songs off her sixth studio album, Circus—to rehearsals, and press tours. Madonna also makes a special appearance and commentary. Spears talks about past relationships. She explains that going through her first break-up, with boyfriend Justin Timberlake, in the spotlight was no easy task for a teenage girl. She felt that all the publicity made it even more difficult and confusing for her to move on at such a young age and so she began to act out. Her break-up with husband and father of her two sons, Kevin Federline, was even worse she explains. This loss took an even greater toll on her and once again all the paparazzi attention did not help.

Dans ce documentaire classique de 1969, l'homme en noir est capturé à son apogée, le premier d'une longue carrière dans les montagnes russes. Tout juste après son album Folsom Prison, Cash révèle la sombre intensité et le talent brut qui ont fait de lui une star de la musique country et une icône de la culture. Le réalisateur Robert Elfstrom s’est rapproché plus que tout autre cinéaste de Cash, qui joue notamment avec sa nouvelle épouse, June Carter Cash, dans un duo rare avec Bob Dylan, et dans les coulisses avec des amis, la famille et de jeunes musiciens en herbe.
