Watch the First Teaser for Tina Turner's HBO Documentary: I 'Pulled Myself Above the Destruction'

Tina Turner's life story is heading to the small screen.

On Tuesday, HBO released the official teaser for the documentary Tina, which is set to follow the legendary singer's early life and childhood through her decades-long career.

"My mother used to sit in the window of the kitchen when she was making dinner on Sundays. I used to just watch her. She was just so pretty," the 81-year-old says in the teaser. "One day, she wasn't in that window. She was never in it again."

"I wanted her to come for me. I waited and she never did. And it's alright — you know why?" she adds. "I'm a girl from a cotton field that pulled myself above the destruction and the mistakes. And I'm here for you."
