One of the actor’s five kids, Lola Sheen, also appears in the documentary.
However, not seen on screen are Martin Sheen and Charlie’s brother, actor Emilio Estevez, who support the project but “wanted to let Charlie have this moment”, Renzi said.
According to the streaming service, the documentary sees Sheen speak for the first time about “his early years growing up in Malibu, offering a rare perspective on a childhood spent at the intersection of Hollywood royalty and coastal suburbia”.

“The stuff that I plan on sharing, I had made a sacred vow to only reveal to a therapist,” Sheen says in the trailer.
The actor is set to address “long-standing rumors and reflects on chapters of his life he’s rarely discussed publicly before”, according to the Netflix announcement.
