While on the kids' pageant circuit, Alana Thompson became known as "Honey Boo Boo," as the world discovered her and her colorful family, led by her mother, Mama June. Alana's dynamic persona captivated audiences and caught the attention of producers, catapulting her and her family to meteoric stardom as reality TV stars. But behind closed doors were forced smiles, silent tears and the lingering sense of uncertainty for what the future held for Alana and her family. After a series of scandals and legal troubles, Alana's world was turned upside down and she was ultimately placed in the care of her older sister, Pumpkin. Now in college, Alana is determined to shake off the labels that have followed her, shed light on the darker side of child stardom and forge a path to overcome generational trauma and challenges.
