Dionreceived the diagnosis in 2022and laterhad to cancel her world tourdue to muscle spasms and rigidity.
One such spasm occurred while Taylor and Midwig were rolling, and it appears in the film.
We both stood back and assessed, like, Are we in the way?
Midwick said during Deadlines awards-season eventContenders Documentary.
Are we inhibiting her from any medical attention that she could get?
Was there anything that we could do to assist in aiding her in any way?
No, were not trained medical professionals.
This is really inhibiting.
This turned my life upside down.
Taylor said she expected Dion to request to see the footage once she recovered.
The five-time Grammy winner never did.
We did not speak of it, in fact, Taylor said.
And I said, I think so.
Thats how she is.
I think that she was worried all along for the many years she held the secret of her illness.
She was worried people wouldnt believe her.
Producer Leisl Copland made the connection between Taylor and Dion.
Their conversations began via Zoom during the pandemic.
Yet Taylor admired how Dion presented herself with minimal glamour.
It really integrated well with the camera quality, the lens quality, because we didnt need lights.
So you really just see her in a very natural setting.
You feel like youre sitting in front of her.
