This was corporate film for WEA Records in the summer of 1987 and wasn't a commercial documentary for public braodcast. It was part of a collection of similar "work in progress" clips sent around Warner offices or shown at corporate WEA Roadshows.
It normally has an enormous and rather intrusive time-code banner running all the way through it, and this is one of the reasons it hardly ever turns up on fan bootleg DVDs.
It is quite a funny clip where Peter Cetera is talking to the camera saying that they are finishing off the album and kept stressing that Agnetha was a "workaholic", but every time they find her on camera she's doing anything but work (laying by the pool, playing basketball etc). She also says, "Don't be sneaky" when asked to give an interview, and finally put her foot down at the end saying, "Peter, I told you NO interviews!".
Later you see them in the studio rehearsing backing vocals for Little White Secrets, and then both Agnetha and Peter talked to the camera saying that they hoped everyone at WEA was looking forward to the album.
There is another version with just the interview in the studio; and instead of studio footage during Little White Secrets, there is a montage of Agnetha pictures with that song playing over them.
The Chartmaker Studios in Malibu was destroyed in the wildfires of October 2007.
