Prime Video documentary on Celine Dion's health: “The last few years have been a huge challenge for me”

A documentary about Celine Dion's battle with severe personality disorder (RPS) will soon be released on Prime Video.

Amazon MGM Studios announced on Tuesday that it has acquired international rights to the documentary Me: Celine DionIt follows our national singer who has been sidelined from the stage for two years due to ill health.

Filming took a year under the direction of Oscar-winning director Irene Taylor, and the result can be seen in 240 countries and territories around the world.

Me: Celine Dion It focuses on the biggest fight in the career of the 55-year-old artiste, who has already been unable to sing for two years due to cramps linked to RPS. As we know, Celine Dion, who had to give up an international tour and a new residency in Las Vegas due to SPR, loves the spotlight more than anything.

“The past few years have been a huge challenge for me, from being diagnosed with the disease to figuring out how to live with it and manage it without letting it define me,” Celine Dion said in a statement on Tuesday.
