Bieber is no stranger to documentaries. A feature-length 3D concert film, Justin Bieber: Never Say Never, was released in theaters February 2011 and followed the singer over the span of 10 days, culminating in a sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden. Directed by Jon M. Chu, the film grossed nearly $100 million at the box office.
