From ABC:

Judy Garland's life seemed destined to burn brightly - but briefly. She was a precocious toddler who sang torch songs at the age of three; an overworked and insecure teenage star during the heyday of MGM; a passionate yet erratic wife and mother; and a drug-addled "bad risk" who nonetheless pulled off one of the most triumphant comebacks in history.

Through all the incredible triumphs and devastating defeats, Garland found strength in the unconditional love of her children - Liza, Lorna, and Joe. As told from Lorna's point of view, the story reveals a side of Garland - that of loving mother - rarely seen by the public. Ultimately a story of forgiveness and hope, of love and its limitations, Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows is a testament to the healing powers of embracing one's past, facing one's demons, and charting a course of discovery and self-love.
