What really happens when love for a music star goes too far? STANS, Eminem’s new documentary named after his song “Stan,” takes viewers inside the world of extreme fandom. Through real fans, rare footage and an original interview with Eminem himself, the trailer reveals how fandom can shape identity and sometimes break it.
Eminem looks over a handwritten draft of his rap, a quiet reminder that his songs come from real emotion. We also see moments from his live performances, with massive crowds that speak to his global reach and impact. The trailer weaves together old footage, fan interviews, and studio moments to reveal the good, the sad and the intense sides of being a fan.
STANS – Trailer (In Theatres August 7)
Viewers online have opened up. In comment sections, one fan wrote, “I finally found my people. STANS is the best music/human doc I’ve seen in a long time.” Others say the trailer sparked self-reflection “Watching made me ask, how much did I give away loving an artist?” Fans share childhood concert memories, lyrics that saved them, and deep emotional ties.
After watching STANS, music fans can switch from the chaos of fandom to the quiet intimacy of “Mockingbird.” Where STANS highlights passion and identity through other people’s eyes, the music video shows Eminem facing personal truths, fatherhood, fame and regret, for himself. Together, both pieces create a full portrait: one of devoted fans and one of the man they love.

In Mockingbird, Eminem sings over childhood clips showing memories with his daughters and reflecting on lost moments. Fans comment that the song helped them heal using words like “therapy” “connection” and “relief.” Some say watching the video brought them back to family fights or unspoken memories. The honesty keeps resonating.
What makes Eminem’s music last isn’t just the rhymes, it’s his openness about pain, fear, and the fight to keep going. His songs connect because they’re never pretending.
