Martin and LindsayвЂ™s documentary, a tale of not just tears but triumph, features archival footage of never-before-seen interviews and intimate confessionals from Turner - most notably, audio from her first public conversation about IkeвЂ™s abuse during an interview with People magazine in 1981. She worked for 60 years - and now sheвЂ™s done with being repeatedly reminded of her past trauma.вЂќ вЂTinaвЂ™ doc director TJ Martin вЂњThe spotlight is not interesting to her anymore. Turner lives in Zurich with her husband, Erwin Bach (left), and is ready to leave her fame and Ike's abuse in the past forever. вЂњEvery time sheвЂ™s asked to re-tell her story, as beneficial as it may be for other people to hear and be empowered by, it can be extremely painful and re-traumatizing for her,вЂќ filmmaker Martin, 41, told The Post.

TurnerвЂ™s black eyes, busted lips and myriad other physical wounds are long-healed since she left Ike after one final bloody beating in 1976 - but the emotional scars of the sadistic torment are re-opened whenever her abuserвЂ™s name is mentioned.Д®ven decades after escaping her toxic marriage - and surviving a stroke, cancer, organ transplant and the suicide of a child - one of the worldвЂ™s most beloved musical artists canвЂ™t escape the publicвЂ™s inquiring minds. A truth.вЂќДЄnd yes, вЂњTinaвЂќ retraces the music iconвЂ™s childhood neglect and hardscrabble steps through the domestic violence, sexual abuse and suicide attempts she survived throughout her 16-year marriage to late ex-husband Ike Turner. вЂњI had an abusive life,вЂќ said Turner, 81, in the forthcoming film from Academy Award-winning directors Dan Lindsay and TJ Martin.В вЂњThereвЂ™s no other way to tell the story. The вЂњProud MaryвЂќ singer is speaking her truth one last time in a film thatвЂ™s being hailed as her bittersweet вЂњgoodbyeвЂќ - a reality that sent social media shockwaves through her loyal fanbase earlier this month.Д«ut no, the growling, galvanizing entertainer who left the cotton fields of вЂњNutbush City LimitsвЂќ behind to be вЂњThe BestвЂќ is not dying - sheвЂ™s just tired of dredging up past traumas for her adoring public. Charting her own path to peace by walking away from it all with nothing but her name. Navigating the traumas of childhood abandonment and adult abuse in the public eye. Rolling on the river of rock star acclaim. ThatвЂ™s the haunting theme of Tina TurnerвЂ™s new bombshell documentary вЂњTina,вЂќ out Saturday on HBO.
