With the world collecting its breath after Kendrick Lamar‘s blazing Super Bowl Halftime Show, the NFL is giving fans a behind-the-scenes look at how the spectacle came to fruition.

In a 30-minute documentary special, the curtain is lifted to showcase the huge amounts of collaboration that went into putting the performance together.
