Barbra Streisand has greenlit a multi-part documentary about her life, following her exhaustive 1,000-page memoir released last year. The project, helmed by Oscar-winning director Frank Marshall, was confirmed on Thursday by Sony Music Vision. While currently untitled and without a release date, the documentary promises rare video, photographs, and audio from Streisand's own archives.

In a statement, the 82-year-old Streisand revealed, "For years I've been thinking about the best way to share the vast amount of content I've been safely storing in my vault. ... I'm so pleased that producer Alex Gibney and director Frank Marshall have agreed to take this journey with me." Known for his documentaries on Paul Simon and Steve Jobs, Gibney will be producing the film. Marshall, for his part, has directed documentaries about the Beach Boys and the Bee Gees and produced blockbusters like Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Sixth Sense.
