Paramount+ unveiled the official trailer for Melissa Etheridge: I’m Not Broken, the two-part docuseries centered around the Grammy-Award-winning rockstar and activist who penned an original song inspired by letters she received from incarcerated women in her Kansas hometown.

Directed by Brian Morrow and Amy Scott, the series Melissa Etheridge: I’m Not Broken world premieres at the 2024 Tribeca Festival, followed by its premiere on Paramount+ on Tuesday, July 9 in the U.S. and Canada and on Wednesday, July 10 in the UK, Australia, Latin America, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria.

Melissa Etheridge: I’m Not Broken tells an inspiring story of healing and transcendence through the power of music when five female residents from the Topeka Correctional Facility, a women’s prison in Kansas, write letters to Etheridge that she then uses as inspiration to create and perform an original song for them. Having recently lost her son to opioids, Etheridge works to understand and interrupt the cycle of addiction while connecting with these women who, so often, are forgotten by society.

Additionally, the docuseries explores themes of female incarceration, redemption, substance abuse, generational trauma, grief and healing. With female incarceration rates up 700 percent since 1980, Etheridge bonds with the women through the conduit of music as an act of empathy, understanding and hope.
