8 Things We Learned From Beyoncé's Coachella Documentary Homecoming

A year ago, Beyoncé turned Coachella into a homecoming heard around the world. 

Now, 12 months later, the elusive star has practically taken fans up on stage with her for those monumental performances from April 2018 in her newly released documentary, aptly titled Homecoming. 

The Netflix film, released on Wednesday, spans more than two hours and explores all that it took to bring her vision to fruition nearly a year after giving birth to her twin son and daughter, Sir and Rumi.

Beyond the personal, Beyoncé's return to the stage at the time was simultaneously historical as she was—and remains to date—the first and only African American woman to headline the festival. 

"It's hard to believe that, after all these years, I was the first African American woman to headline Coachella," she said in the documentary. 

"As a black woman, I used to feel like the world wanted me to stay in my little box and black women often feel underestimated. 

I wanted us to be proud of not only the show, but the process, proud of the struggle, thankful for the beauty that comes with a painful history and rejoice in the pain, rejoice in the imperfections and the wrongs that are so d--n right. I wanted everyone to be grateful for their curves, their sass, their honesty, thankful for their freedom. It was no rules and we were abel to create a free, safe space where none of us were marginalized."
