"Jane Fonda in Five Acts": HBO releases trailer for new documentary on actress' life

The film had debuted at the Sundance Film Festival this year and garnered rave reviews well in advance of its September 24 premiere on the network. 

HBO has finally released the new trailer for their upcoming documentary - 'Jane Fonda in Five Acts' - to be directed by Susan Lacy and it's every bit as thrilling as the life and works of the titular actress, focussing much on her activism and even the controversies surrounding her too. The film had debuted at the Sundance Film Festival this year and garnered rave reviews well in advance of its September 24 premiere on the network. 

The documentary draws on 21 hours of interviews with Fonda, who speaks candidly and frankly about her life and her missteps. She explores the pain of her mother's suicide, her father’s emotional unavailability, 30 years of an eating disorder and three marriages to highly visible, yet diametrically opposed men.
