Janet Jackson to executive-produce transgender documentary

Posted by | Cyrena Rose

“Stop the hate and find understanding.”

Janet Jackson will executive produce Truth, a documentary about transgender people described as “a journey through the lives of trans- and nongendered people around the world and their epic struggle for equality.”

S&A reports Jackson told the media the following:

All people are very important to me.  I’ve been fortunate to make friends and learn about very different lives.  Truth is our small chance to ask that you try and understand someone who lives their life in a way that is a little bit different from yours, even though all of our hearts are the same.  We want to stop the hate and find understanding.

Truth will be directed by Robert Jason and is set to begin production this summer.

Janet announced she was starting a production company earlier this year, what are your thoughts on her new project?
