When it airs on March 19, the documentary will include new material including concert footage and a never-before-seen exclusive interview with recording artist and pop superstar Lady Gaga.

“Arthur is a really special person,” said Lady Gaga, “and he really did not need to take a chance on me.  He has tons of artists, he has a huge career, he didn’t have to do it.  But he did it because he believes in me and he believes in my fans, so I ‘ll always believe in him.”
