Plot Synopsis

VAI ANITTA is a half-hour docuseries that goes behind the scenes with Brazilian pop icon Anitta, along with her friends and family, as she aims to create a new song and music video each month. Anitta -- a woman whose struggles are just as real as her love for her music, culture, family, and friends -- has more than 29.4 million followers on Instagram, two billion views on YouTube and a rising international career. At the young age of 25, Anitta has become a rising performer in Brazil and worldwide, reaching success with smashing hits such as Downtown - the first song by a Brazilian artist to be featured on the Spotify's Top 20, and Vai Malandra - song that besides breaking all Brazilian streaming records, was the first Brazilian ranked in the Top 25 Global Charts on Spotify.

This series has unrestricted and uncensored access behind the scenes of her hectic routine: from the shows in Brazil to traveling around the world, through the interaction with the fans in social media and her personal life. VAI ANITTA opens with Anitta being encouraged during her journey to the top by family members and friends who believed in her talent. Poo Bear and Alesso join Anitta for her second Checkmate single, "Is That For Me." For the music video, she chooses the Amazon Jungle as the backdrop. In New York, Anitta is interviewed about her career outside Brazil, and records her third single for the Checkmate project: "Downtown" with J Balvin. Anitta shares her love of funk music, her passion for empowering girls and women, the downside of fame and her struggle with depression.
