JoJo Siwa & Raven-Symoné appear in Demi Lovato-directed Child Star documentary

Demi Lovato is stepping behind the camera for her new project, a documentary titled Child Star.

Lovato, who was herself a child star appearing in Barney & Friends at the age of nine and later starring in the Camp Rock movies for Disney starting at the age of 15, is now making her directorial debut with an upcoming documentary about child actors called Child Star.

The documentary is set to premiere on Hulu and "examines the high highs and low lows of growing up in that spotlight."

Lovato won't be the sole focus of the doc, as they'll be featured having "intimate and, at times, heart-breaking conversations" with other former child stars such as Drew Barrymore, Kenan Thompson, Raven-Symoné, Christina Ricci, JoJo Siwa, and Lovato's Camp Rock co-star Alyson Stoner.

In addition to all being former child stars, many of the subjects of the documentary are queer, including Lovato, Barrymore, Raven-Symoné, Siwa, and Stoner.

"I'm so proud to make my directorial debut with this documentary that sheds light on the complexities of child stardom, a topic that is very close to my heart," Lovato said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "I want to thank our cast for being so vulnerable with their stories and our contributors for sharing their knowledge to help push the conversation forward. I hope viewers will gain a deeper understanding of the challenges and pressures faced by young people in the industry so we can achieve our goal of creating a safer and more supportive environment for future generations of young talents in entertainment, social media, and beyond."

This isn't the first documentary Lovato has been involved in. In 2017, there was a YouTube documentary titled Demi Lovato: Simply Complicated that explored her sexuality, career, and life.

Later, they were the subject of the documentary Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil. That film explored the singer and actor's mental health and addiction struggles.
