Billie Eilish: The World's A Little Blurry (2021) Access
The heart of the story takes place in the small childhood bedroom of Billie’s brother, Finneas. While the music industry expected a massive studio production, the duo recorded almost her entire debut album, WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? , sitting cross-legged on a bed.

The documentary reaches a poignant climax when Billie, who was a "super-fan" of Justin Bieber as a child, finally meets him at Coachella. The scene shows her frozen in a long, tearful embrace with him, a powerful full-circle moment where the fan became the peer.
