Tina Arena: Unravel Me arrives in celebration of the entertainer’s five decades in the spotlight. Described as an “intimate and cinematic” portrait of an enduring artist, the documentary follows “two interwoven lenses – Tina the icon and Tina the woman” while peeling back fame and sharing new revelations for the first time.
Like all the best music documentaries, Tina Arena’s will contain archival footage and new interviews with family, her mentor Johnny Young, and artists including Keating, Mauboy, Marc Antony, Celine Dion, and more.
The Helium Pictures production is directed by Adrian Russell Wills, written and produced by Jessica Carrera and Executive Produced by Mark Fennessy and Tina Arena. The project received principal production funding from Screen Australia and was financed in association with Screen NSW, Seven Network and The Post Lounge.
Tina Arena’s most recent album, Love Saves, was released in July 2023. Her thirteenth album, it was nominated for an ARIA Award for Best Adult Contemporary Album, debuted at #2 on the ARIA Albums Chart, and features the hit single, Church.
Arena said of the celebrations marking 50 years in the entertainment business, “It’s hard to believe it’s been fifty years since I first stepped into the spotlight at just eight years old as a contestant on Young Talent Time.
“This next artistic chapter is about freedom, creativity and sharing my truth and experiences on my own terms, and I want my beautiful, loyal fans to celebrate with me.”
