Netflix Releases Trailer for the Highly Anticipated Ana de Armas Documentary — “Ana” Set to Premiere Globally in July
LOS ANGELES – June 24, 2025
Netflix has officially released the trailer for its upcoming feature documentary on award-nominated actress Ana de Armas, sending fans and film critics into a frenzy. Titled simply “Ana,” the documentary explores the Cuban-born star’s remarkable rise to global fame and the personal journey behind the headlines.
Scheduled for global release on July 26, 2025, Ana is being touted as one of the platform’s most anticipated documentary events of the year, tracing the life of a young woman who overcame language barriers, cultural divides, and intense public scrutiny to emerge as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after talents.
A Story of Transformation and Resilience
The trailer opens with black-and-white footage of Ana walking the streets of Havana as a teenager, intercut with present-day shots of her preparing for a red carpet event. “It’s not just about acting,” Ana’s voice narrates softly, “it’s about becoming visible, heard, and free.”
Directed by Oscar-winning documentarian Chloe Greene, the film takes a deeply personal look at de Armas’s transformation—from her early years in Cuba, through her struggles as an immigrant actress in Spain and then Los Angeles, to the breakout roles that catapulted her into the international spotlight.
Best known for her work in Knives Out, Blade Runner 2049, and Blonde, Ana de Armas has become a symbol of both glamour and grit. The documentary promises to go beyond the movie sets and magazine covers, offering never-before-seen home videos, intimate conversations with family, and raw footage of the actress navigating the pressures of celebrity life.
Hollywood, Cuba, and the Spaces In Between
The film features interviews with prominent directors and actors who have worked closely with Ana, including Rian Johnson, Daniel Craig, Ben Affleck, and Andrew Dominik, who directed her controversial turn as Marilyn Monroe in Blonde. But it also dives into her Cuban heritage and the emotional connection she still maintains with her home country.
“Ana is a bridge between worlds,” says director Chloe Greene in a behind-the-scenes clip. “She carries with her the soul of Havana, the elegance of old Hollywood, and the modern-day urgency of a woman finding her voice in a male-dominated industry.”
The documentary doesn’t shy away from difficult topics. It confronts the backlash Ana received for Blonde, the emotional weight of public scrutiny during high-profile relationships, and the exhaustion that comes from navigating fame as a young Latina actress in a still-evolving Hollywood.
A Netflix Summer Event
Netflix has slated Ana as part of its summer documentary lineup, following the success of recent artist-focused docs on Taylor Swift, Naomi Osaka, and Beyoncé. Early critical buzz suggests that Ana may well be one of the most affecting and beautifully shot profiles of a working actress in recent memory.
The platform has announced a simultaneous release in over 190 countries, with subtitles available in more than 30 languages. A live premiere event will also be streamed from Los Angeles on Netflix’s YouTube channel, featuring Ana herself in conversation with fans and fellow actors.
Ana Speaks Out
In a heartfelt statement shared on her Instagram ahead of the trailer’s release, de Armas wrote:
“Telling this story scared me at first. I’ve always let my characters speak for me. But this documentary gave me the chance to speak from the heart, to share where I come from and who I’m still becoming. I hope it reaches those who feel unseen.”
Final Thoughts
With gorgeous cinematography, a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, and a script built around Ana’s own reflections, Ana is shaping up to be more than just a career retrospective — it’s a declaration of identity, resilience, and quiet power.
The trailer ends with a close-up of Ana, her eyes fixed on the camera, whispering one final line:
“I’ve played many roles. Now it’s time to tell my own story.”
Ana premieres exclusively on Netflix, July 26.
