Famous childstars on average die 14 years earlier and they have a 4 times increased chance of dying by suicide. Those are the grim statistics behind this documentary which gives a detailed insight into the Disney childstar Demiy moilato... whom I have never heard of but apparently she was HUGELY popular. We mostly get to see demi lovato talk to other childstars (Drew Barrymore and Christina Ricci for instance) and the recurring theme is that almost all of them suffered from their huge fame and started to use drugs and alchohol to cope with a life they had no real control over. These childstars are being squeezed out for every penny they can make and the more popular they become the more a product they become up to a point that certain childstars became wall street products. Currently the childstar content is valued at over 500 billion dollars. Incredibly sad to see how these kids are being treated. Money, money and more money is the culprit behind this abuse. Kids wanna be famous, but adult wanna make money of their fame. The way in which money overrules the healthy development of childstars is what this documentary is all about. This documentary starts out unassuming and without the bleak and grim statistics, but have some patience and please watch it till the end, because then you get to see the real damage done to this famous childstars...
