Apple has ordered a new documentary film from Academy Award-nominated filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering tackling abuse within the music industry.

Executive produced by Oprah Winfrey and produced and co-directed by Dick and Ziering, the documentary follows a brilliant former music executive who grapples with whether to go public with her story of assault and abuse by a notable figure in the music industry. The film promises to be a profound examination of race, gender, class and intersectionality, and the toll assaults take on their victims and society at large.

The untitled feature is produced by Dick and Ziering’s Jane Doe Films (“The Hunting Ground,” “The Invisible War”), with Winfrey, Terry Wood (Harpo Productions), Dan Cogan (Impact Partners), Regina K. Scully (Artemis Rising), Ian Darling (Shark Island), Abigail Disney (Level Forward) serving as executive producers. The creative team includes producers Jamie Rogers and Amy Herdy.

The film will premiere in 2020.
