"There is something incredibly important about the HBCU experience that must be celebrated and protected." The documentary also shares a rare insight into Bey's family life with husband Jay-Z, and children But Ivy, Rumi and Sir.
Beyoncé's performance, which paid tribute to black culture, specifically historically black colleges and universities, was hailed as a historic moment by various entertainment and media outlets at the time.
It became the most-watched live performance on YouTube of all time, and featured surprise performances from her sister Solange, Jay-Z, and an on-stage reunion with her Destiny's Child bandmates.
