"Juice WRLD: Into the Abyss" was created from several hundred hours of footage from when the artist became a streaming superstar.

"It is, it's probably also related to why he lived his life the way he did, where he enjoyed every day," said Tommy Oliver, director and producer. "For whatever reason, he was keenly aware of his mortality and the possibility he would not live to see old age."
The documentary gives a clear picture of how Juice WRLD's creative mind worked, and also shows him as a kind, sweet, humble person who didn't change. Oliver has some thoughts on what his legacy will be in the music world.
"Going down as the greatest freestyler of all time, and one of the best artists of all time, who was willing to be vulnerable and open in a way that will continue to help millions of people as they deal with things they're going through," he said.
