Janet Jackson To Produce Transgender ‘Truth’ Film

Jun 05, 2012

Janet Jackson is set to executive-produce a documentary that will help "stop the hate and find understanding" toward transgender people. The documentary is titled Truth and described as "a journey through the lives of trans- and nongendered people around the world and their epic struggle for equality." The film will be directed by Robert Jason and is expected to begin production this summer. "All people are very important to me," Jackson said in a statement released to the media. "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."
