Documentary series on actress-activist Rose McGowan to hit TV screens from 20 January

New York: Actress and activist Rose McGowan will be the subject of a new documentary TV series.

E! said on Tuesday (2 January) it will air the first part of Citizen Rose on 30 January, which coincides with the release of her memoir, Brave. Four more episodes will air in the spring.

McGowan helped open a national public discussion about sexual harassment and abuse when she accused Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein of raping her. Weinstein has repeatedly denied “allegations of non-consensual sex.”

With the documentary, McGowan says she hopes to “amplify my message of bravery, art, joy and survival” and to “show how we can heal through art even when being hounded by evil.”

She will serve as an executive producer.
