Share it with your friends and family and keep telling it until you find the parts they respond to and until you get it right and then, tell that story. "We are grateful to our partners @thelorimccreary @morganfreeman and the team at Revelations Entertainment, and we are thrilled to bring the community, the soul, the beauty and the ultimate tragedy of District 6 to the audiences around the world. Joy was their resistance. Joy was their protest."Lesley-Ann will both star and produce the upcoming series.
In a statement, via Deadline, she said:"It's such a personal story to me, my family and the people of the Cape Flats.
