Quick: name the most iconic music video of all time. If you didn't say George Michael’s "Freedom '90," that's okay, but there's no doubt that the clip, directed by David Fincher, made a huge impact on millions of fans — with ten different female and male models lip-syncing the song of liberation. Now, some never-before-seen outtakes from that shoot have been released as part of a trailer for a new documentary.

The documentary, George Michael: Freedom, premieres on Showtime on Oct. 21. Filming was completed before Michael's death, reports Billboard. The documentary focuses on the years after Michael's solo breakout Faith, as he recorded and released the 1990 album Listen Without Prejudice Vol. 1.
