LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- An HBO documentary featuring the late Debbie Reynolds and Carrie Fisher will air Saturday evening.

"Bright Lights: Starring Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds" was scheduled to be released in March, but HBO decided to move the premiere up after the mother-daughter duo died within days of each other.

"The love is overwhelming and I think that's what everybody's going to feel," Todd Fisher, son of Debbie Reynolds and brother to Carrie Fisher told Eyewitness News.

"My sister can't help but to be funny. I mean it just spills out of her the way you breathe," Todd Fisher explained.

You see her toughing through things, really tough things, but she does."
