The story of her battle for justice is set to be told in a drama miniseries entitled <em>Kin<\/em> (w.t.).<\/p>\n<p>The adopted woman sought justice for herself and her biological mother, who was raped as a teenager by her biological father. <em>Kin<\/em> includes the latest chapter in Daisy&#8217;s life, following along as she travels to the Caribbean and uncovers her family tree for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>Emma Dennis-Edwards (<em>Consent<\/em>) is writing the script for the drama. She has also written for Candice Carty-Williams\u2019s <em>Champion<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>More projects from Me+You include\u00a0<em>Close to You<\/em>, starring Elliot Page in his first film role since coming out as a transgender man, and the eight-part drama\u00a0<em>Alice &amp; Jack<\/em>. Both are set to premiere at the upcoming Toronto International Film Festival.<\/p>\n<p>Krishnendu Majumdar, co-founder of Me+You, said: \u201cDaisy is a truly inspirational woman. I don\u2019t think people will believe that she actually tracked down and went to visit her birth father for the first time. She rang the bell, and they talked inside his home for 45 minutes. It is jaw-dropping. I\u2019ve been amazed by her eloquence and resilience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are really excited about working with Emma and Daisy on <em>Kin<\/em>. We are passionate about telling stories that matter, stories that say something about society. We feel privileged that Daisy has trusted us to tell this extraordinary story about how one woman accepted her devastating origins and found the courage to fight for justice. It\u2019s about resilience, family and knowing who you are.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Me+You Productions has acquired the life rights to the true story behind the creation of Daisy&#8217;s Law in the U.K.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3087,"featured_media":19140,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[7292,7466,7467,7468,3789,7469,4503],"class_list":["post-19139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-alice-jack","tag-close-to-you","tag-daisys-law","tag-emma-dennis-edwards","tag-kin","tag-krishnendu-majumdar","tag-meyou-productions","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Me+You Acquires Life Rights to Daisy&#039;s Law Story - TVDRAMA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/meyou-acquires-rights-to-daisys-law-story\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Me+You Acquires Life Rights to Daisy&#039;s Law Story - TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Me+You Productions has acquired the life rights to the true story behind the creation of Daisy&#039;s Law in the U.K.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/meyou-acquires-rights-to-daisys-law-story\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVDRAMA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2023-08-31T13:00:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-31T13:15:02+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2017\/07\/MePlusYou-Logo-0823.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"360\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alexa Alfano\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/meyou-acquires-rights-to-daisys-law-story\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/meyou-acquires-rights-to-daisys-law-story\/\",\"name\":\"Me+You Acquires Life Rights to Daisy's Law Story - TVDRAMA\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2023-08-31T13:00:39+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-08-31T13:15:02+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/meyou-acquires-rights-to-daisys-law-story\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/meyou-acquires-rights-to-daisys-law-story\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/meyou-acquires-rights-to-daisys-law-story\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Me+You Acquires Life Rights to Daisy&#8217;s Law Story\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/\",\"name\":\"TVDRAMA\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvdrama\/#\/schema\/person\/2653b97e27eaf76a4713c75f0e821dad\",\"name\":\"Alexa Alfano\",\"description\":\"Alexa Alfano is associate editor at World Screen.
