Gretchen Carlson, a journalist, author and female-empowerment activist, has forged an overall pact with A+E Networks\u00a0to create and host a trio of documentary specials for Lifetime.<\/p>\n
The projects will be developed by A+E Originals, the newly launched non-fiction content development company.\u00a0The first, tentatively titled The Brave with Gretchen Carlson<\/em>, will look at how Carlson’s confrontation of sexual harassment in the workplace has encouraged other females to come forward as part of the #MeToo movement.<\/p>\n The other two specials will feature inspirational stories of average Americans. On board as executive producers are Steve Ascher, Kristy Sabat, Liz Gateley and Carlson, with Gena McCarthy and Brie Bryant serving as EPs for Lifetime.<\/p>\n “It has now been confirmed that our voices are amplified and actually get heard when we stand together, and I am proud to partner with Lifetime to make change happen by presenting the heartbreaking, but previously untold, stories of everyday working women,” said Carlson. “We need to shine a light on the predators and their enablers, rather than ostracizing and blacklisting the innocent victims whose dreams and careers have been destroyed. I’m grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with A+E Networks on this important project.”<\/p>\n Steve Ascher, the VP of A+E Originals, added: “Gretchen has stood at the forefront of this powerful movement, risking her own career to protect all women. She’s a trusted, courageous journalist and a tireless advocate for women from all walks of life. We’re honored that she has chosen to partner with A+E Originals to bring her voice, passion and unique perspectives to Lifetime.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Gretchen Carlson, a journalist, author and female-empowerment activist, has forged an overall pact with A+E Networks\u00a0to create and host a trio of documentary specials for Lifetime.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":479,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[114,2889,164],"class_list":["post-11166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","","category-top-stories","tag-ae-networks","tag-gretchen-carlson","tag-lifetime","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
